A new study published in @nature_the_journal - and led by Re:wild - reveals that climate change is emerging as the primary driver behind the global decline of amphibians: frogs, salamanders, and caecilians. Between 2004 and 2022, a few critical threats have pushed more than 300 amphibians closer to extinction, according to the study. Climate change was the primary threat for 39% of these species. This number is expected to rise as better data and projections on species’ responses to climate change become available. #Climatechange is especially concerning for amphibians in large part because they are particularly sensitive to changes in their environment.
