Sonora has a rich natural diversity, including reptiles and amphibians. Sonora's location on the United States-Mexico border creates some unique conservation challenges for its wildlife. We compiled a list of the amphibian and reptile species currently known for Sonora, summarized the conservation status of these species, and compared our list of species with known species lists for adjacent states. The herpetofauna of Sonora comprises 200 species of amphibians and reptiles (38 amphibians and 162 reptiles). Overall, Sonora shares the most species with Chihuahua, Sinaloa, and Arizona. Approximately 11% of the amphibian and reptile species are IUCN listed, but 35.5% are placed in a protected category by SEMARNAT, and 32.6% are categorized as high risk by the Environmental Vulnerability Score.

Database of information on amphibian declines, natural history, conservation, and taxonomic information for every recognized species of amphibian in the world. Species accounts are being added regularly by specialists and volunteers and they contain species descriptions, life history information, conservation status, literature references, photos and range maps for many species. Some species have complete accounts; others as yet have only photographs or distributions. But all species can be queried for taxonomic, distributional and exact specimen data. AmphibiaWeb offers a powerful mapping tool by combining museum specimen data (via HerpNET) with expert opinion range maps (from Global Amphibian Assessment/IUCN) and overlaying these onto larger maps, allowing visualization in political, satellite, hybrid, or terrain map format. AmphibiaWeb currently (Aug 13, 2013) contains 7,160 species. They have 2,966 species accounts for 2,363 species, 6,517 literature references, 558 sound files, 109 video files, and 28,218 photos of 3,887 different amphibian species. These data come from numerous individuals--see acknowledgements. They have the ambitious goal of establishing a home page for every species of amphibian in the world. In order to accomplish this goal they encourage volunteers and specialists to help prepare species accounts. If you have special interest in a particular species, please contact them.
View all literature mentionsA global evaluation of the conservation status of plant and animal species. The IUCN Red List plays a prominent role in guiding conservation activities of governments, NGOs and scientific institutions. The introduction in 1994 of a scientifically rigorous approach to determine risks of extinction that is applicable to all species, has become a world standard. In order to produce The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the IUCN Global Species Programme working with the IUCN Survival Commission (SSC) and with members of IUCN draws on and mobilizes a network of scientists and partner organizations working in almost every country in the world, who collectively hold what is likely the most complete scientific knowledge base on the biology and conservation status of species. The IUCN Red List is underpinned by information management tools (the Species Information Service) which facilitate the collection, management and processing of species data from workshop to publication on The IUCN Red List.
