@amarzee It's too good. Congrats! Will you get a printed copy?

Research Briefing published with @kelseygoeswild ! Climate change and habitat loss are the worse threats to amphibians!

[Nature Portfolio @NaturePortfolio]

A @Nature paper suggests that amphibians continue to be the most threatened class of vertebrates and are deteriorating globally. The authors call for urgent scaled-up investment and policy responses to support the survival and recovery of amphibians. https://t.co/mOVRv03Rfh

[Vishal Kumar Prasad @echthyostega_vp]

This is alarming that climate change is a major cause of amphibian decline, according to a nature journal study. Let's save amphibians!

[Amaël Borzée @amarzee]

"Climate change emerges as major driver of amphibian declines globally, according to watershed paper published in Nature". A massive collaboration to understand the threats to amphibians, led by the Amphibian Red List Authority of the @ASG_IUCN https://t.co/q6EMu4SQkV

[Vishal Kumar Prasad @echthyostega_vp]

This is very concerning...

[IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group @IUCN_ASG]

Our experts suggest that amphibians continue to be the most threatened vertebrates globally with 2 out of 5 species threatened with extinction.
