A website devoted to amphibian discovery has just recorded its 3,000th new species, an achievement that belies the crisis facing frogs, salamanders and other amphibians around the world.

Set up by scientists in California, Amphibiaweb aims to keep track of the creatures in an effort to avert their continued extinction in the face of climate change, habitat destruction and disease.
