Endangered Salamanders

There are over 600 species of newts and salamanders, living in Europe, Asia and the Americas.  This number increases almost weekly, as new species are discovered.  Nearly half of these tailed amphibians are threatened to some degree with extinction, primarily because of destruction, degradation and pollution of the freshwater habitats that they require for breeding.  Biodiversity in the world’s freshwater habitats is currently declining faster than that in any other biome, including tropical forests and coral reefs.
