“…Similar situations occur in Perú and Bolivia for Telmatobius culeus due to human use. The Lake Titicaca frog is the largest fully aquatic frog in the world and is endemic to this lake [ 85 ]. In the Peruvian part, the frogs are harvested and transported to different markets where they are consumed as frog juice or extract, as an exotic dish, as canned food, and as flour, as they are supposed to have medicinal properties.…”

“…In the Peruvian part, the frogs are harvested and transported to different markets where they are consumed as frog juice or extract, as an exotic dish, as canned food, and as flour, as they are supposed to have medicinal properties. As a consequence, the Denver Zoo has committed, through its conservation program, to establish a program that includes field work, captive management, and environmental education on this species in order to obtain biological, habitat, and socioeconomic information on the inhabitants of the shores of Lake Titicaca and establish the basis for the conservation of the species [86,87].…”

Resources are limited in global biodiversity conservation efforts, which emphasizes the significance of setting conservation priorities. Using standardized criteria, we evaluated 58 amphibian species in Chile to determine their conservation priority (CP). Species with insufficient historical data had their values marked as missing. With a median value of p = 1.67, the results demonstrated CP values ranging from p = 0.48 to p = 3.0, classifying species into priority and non-priority groups. Four levels were established for the priority categories: no priority, low priority, medium priority, and high priority. Additionally, the Telmatobiidae and Alsodidae families were identified as two more priority families. Notably, the species with the highest priority were found to be T. halli, T. fronteriensis, T. philippii, T. chusmisensis, A. pehuenche, and Alsodes tumultuosus, where T. philippii and T. fronteriensis have equal priority for conservation at the national level according to the conservation priority analysis. Eight priority families—the Alsodidae, Batrachylidae, Bufonidae, Ceratophryidae, Leptodactylidae, Rhinodermatidae, and Telmatobiidae—were determined, and 14 species—or 24% of the species examined—need further study. Based on the conservation priority analysis, the species T. fronteriensis and T. philippii share the highest priority for conservation at the national level (p = 2.50). With 70% of the amphibians under study being threatened mainly by habitat loss, pollution, and emerging diseases, the creation of conservation categories made the threat assessment process easier. Due to a lack of information on geographic distribution and abundance, quantitatively classifying amphibians in Chile remains difficult. The analysis of conservation priorities and potential extinction threats informs appropriate management strategies.
