This exhibition, a collaboration between the Spanish Herpetological Association and the National Museum of Natural Science, sheds light on the critical state of Spanish amphibians. It features 27 panels showcasing photographs and life cycles of these endangered species, highlighting the threats they face globally and within Spain.
The National Museum of Natural Science, in collaboration with the Spanish Herpetological Association (AHE), presents an exhibition dedicated to Spanish amphibians, highlighting their status as the most endangered animal kingdom on the planet. The exhibition comprises 27 informative panels that present photographs of each species and illustrate their life cycles, drawing attention to the significant threats they face. These include emerging diseases, climate change, habitat degradation and transformation, and invasive species, all of which are leading to an overwhelming number of extinctions, with many species potentially undiscovered. The AHE, founded in 1984, actively promotes studies and research projects focused on the conservation of amphibians and reptiles and their habitats, fostering collaboration among Spanish herpetologists through congresses, meetings, and publications. The exhibition serves to inform the public about the singularity and vulnerability of Spain's amphibian wildlife.
