Conservation priorities for global amphibian biodiversity Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 20 November 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00101-5Amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate group but receive a disproportionately small fraction of conservation funding. In this Review, the authors discuss the status of amphibian conservation, highlighting examples of successful initiatives that have occurred despite global funding challenges.
