That data concerning herp species included more than 3.5 million observation records of more 5,403 amphibian species and 8,993 reptile species.
Tel Aviv University researchers along with researchers from 18 other countries predict that more than 800 reptile and amphibian species will go extinct over the next 100 years due to climate change, according to a study published in the journal Nature Communications.
“Our analyses revealed that approximately 91 percent of the herp species we examined are protected, to some degree, in Protected Areas, and that this proportion will remain unchanged under future climate change,” said Prof. Shai Meiri of Tel Aviv University’s School of Zoology, Wise Faculty of Life Sciences and The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History. “Furthermore, species protected in Protected Areas will lose smaller portions of their distribution ranges inside the nature reserve than outside of them. Therefore, the proportion of species within reserves is expected to increase.”
