秘鲁拥有丰富的两栖动物群，迄今已描述的两栖动物约有571种。其中许多物种直到最近才被正式描述，还有更多的物种有待发现和认识。尽管已知物种的数量有所增加，但一些报告表明，秘鲁安第斯山脉的几个地点最近，在某些情况下，物种丰富度出现了不可思议的下降。在邻近的安第斯国家也观察到类似的人口下降。致病真菌水蛭壶菌（Batrachochytrium dendroatidis）与其中一些衰退有关，我们包括了秘鲁两栖动物中这种病原体记录的时间轴。然而，标准化的长期调查的缺乏限制了我们了解数量下降的原因和评估秘鲁两栖动物保护状况的能力。在这里，我们提供了关于秘鲁两栖动物保护状况的最新信息，并讨论了观察到的下降的可能原因。此外，我们讨论了两栖动物生物多样性目前和未来的威胁，并概述了促进这一全球濒危群体生存所需的行动。我们包括一个长期调查的候选站点列表。
Peru hosts a rich amphibian fauna with approximately 571 species described to date. Many of these species have been formally described only recently, and many more remain to be discovered and recognized. Despite the increase in the number of known species, some reports indicate recent, and in some cases enigmatic, loss of species richness at several sites in the Peruvian Andes. Similar population declines have been observed in neighboring Andean countries. The pathogenic fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is associated with some of these declines, and we include a timeline of records of this pathogen in Peruvian amphibians. However, the paucity of standardized, long-term surveys limits our ability to understand the causes of declines and to assess the conservation status of Peruvian amphibians. Here we provide updated information on the conservation status of amphibians in Peru, and we discuss the possible causes of the observed declines. Furthermore, we discuss present and future threats to amphibian biodiversity, and we outline actions needed to promote the survival of this globally endangered group. We include a list of candidate sites for long-term surveys.
