Amphibian Conservation Status and Action Plan Review for Canada

Canada's amphibian populations are reviewed using a 2024 global conservation framework. The analysis covers 68% of amphibians listed at risk and synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years across five themes, including threats from habitat loss and climate change. The dataset is a PDF document authored by Sara L. Ashpole, last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Assessing conservation priorities based on the reported 68% of amphibians listed at risk in Canada
• Analyzing major threats to amphibians based on described habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change impacts
• Evaluating the application of genetic tools and environmental DNA methods for biodiversity monitoring as mentioned in the review
• Reviewing progress in amphibian genomics resources from large-scale Canadian projects described in the document

Strengths

• Uses a 2024 global conservation framework for analysis
• Covers 68% of amphibians in Canada listed at risk
• Synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years

Limitations

• Dataset is a 265 KB PDF document, limiting machine-readability and structured analysis
• Row and column counts are unknown, obscuring data scale and granularity
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
