Africa’s amphibians are 99% endemic, yet only 12 specific action plans exist for them across the continent. Experts are calling for more research and community involvement to fill data gaps and protect these sensitive species from climate and habitat loss.
Africa’s amphibians are overlooked in conservation planning, experts warn
Herpetologists are calling for greater inclusion of amphibians in African conservation planning, in a recent letter published in the journal Science. Africa is home to roughly 1,170 known species of…

One of the challenges to red wolf recovery is misinformation, especially the belief that people don’t want them back. But new research tells a different story: people living where red wolves once roamed support their return and recognize their ecological and societal value. Read more: bit.ly/3JoPlyF
