Abstract :
[en] The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of selected European taxa, including all vertebrate species (mammals, amphibians, reptiles, birds and fishes), terrestrial and aquatic molluscs, dragonflies, butterflies, bees, grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets, trees, medicinal plants, bryophytes (mosses, liverworts and hornworts), hoverflies, and pteridophytes (ferns and lycopods), and selected saproxylic beetles, endemic shrubs, moths (in prep.) and further selected vascular plants (including crop wild relatives and policy’ taxa that appear on international policy instruments such as the EU Habitats Directive) according to IUCN regional Red List guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order that appropriate conservation
action can be taken to improve their status. This European Red List publication summarises
the results for European amphibians.
