The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of c.6,000 European species (mammals, reptiles, amphibians,

freshwater fishes, butterflies, dragonflies, and selected groups of beetles, molluscs, and vascular plants) according to IUCN

regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level – in order

that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This Red List publication summarises results for European amphibians.
