Threats to Amphibians in Tropical Wet Evergreen Forests of Assam, India

Abstract

A wide variety of amphibian species may be found in Assam's tropical wet evergreen woods, which can be found in the districts of Golaghat, Jorhat, Sibsagar, Tinsukia, and Dibrugarh as well as a little stretch in Lakhimpur and Dhemaji along foothills. These forests are crucial homes for amphibians, but many anthropogenic factors are putting them at greater risk. The main challenges facing frogs in the tropical wet evergreen forests of Assam are thoroughly reviewed in this paper, with an emphasis on how urgent it is to address these issues for the preservation of amphibian populations and the integrity of their ecosystems. In recent decades, there have been sharp population decreases and even extinctions of tropical amphibian species. Habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, infectious diseases, and climate change are some of the threats facing tropical amphibians. Lack of finance, a lack of political and social will, and a lack of knowledge about the precise risks that various amphibian species face are all obstacles to the successful conservation of the remaining amphibian populations. We can anticipate that too many amphibian species will become extinct in the upcoming decades if these issues aren't fixed, which would have an irreversible impact on the ecosystems of the planet.
