The End of the Salamander?

Salamander species in the tropics are seeing massive declines in their population numbers. Speculation is that Global Climate Change is playing a role.

Silent and secretive creatures, salamanders are just as quietly falling off the map in tropical forests throughout Central America, a new study says.

Two common species surveyed in the 1970s in cloud forests of southern Mexico and Guatemala are extinct, and several others have plummeted in number, researchers say.

Sorry no pictures of tropical salamanders in my photo album or that I see on creativecommons.org
