Abstract

The extraordinary rate of worldwide amphibian decrease is ascribed to the Anthropocene, with human activities instigating the Sixth Mass Extinction Catastrophe. Amphibians have experienced significant reductions, and their inadequate response to conservation initiatives indicates difficulties that taxa encounter with biphasic life cycles. It is imperative to guarantee that conservation approaches are economically efficient and have favorable results. Numerous conservation efforts have not succeeded in achieving their objectives of enhancing communities to ensure species' survival in the future. The research proposes that previous conservation initiatives have overlooked the impact of various hazards on many life stages of amphibians, which might result in unsatisfactory results for conservation. The study emphasizes the dangers amphibians encounter at every life stage and the conservation measures implemented to alleviate these threats. The research highlights the scarcity of research that has utilized several actions throughout various life stages. Preservation initiatives for biphasic amphibians and the science behind them lack a comprehensive strategy to address multiple hazards throughout their lifecycle. Conservation strategies must acknowledge the evolving threat scenario for biphasic amphibians to mitigate their status as the most imperiled vertebrate taxon worldwide.
