Three regions of Panama have been included among the Threatened Amphibian Landscapes (TALs) by the Second Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA-2) recently conducted for the Amphibian Red List Authority (ARLA) of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

The analysis assessed the extinction risk of more than 8,000 amphibian species around the globe and identified 50 TALs worldwide that are of critical conservation importance because they account for 71% of all threatened amphibians. These include the highlands of Panama, Central Panama and the Chocó-Darién.
