It is threatened by the international pet trade. (ongoing threat) SRG 42 It is found in international trade, with hundreds being exported annually, although it is not clear that this constitutes a threat to the species. (ongoing threat) SRG 42 The major threats are probably related to habitat loss due to agriculture, clear-cutting and human settlement, as well as harvesting for the national and international pet trade, which might be locally unsustainable. (Ongoing threat) ? The national and international pet trade might have a local impact No The species could be of interest to the pet trade, which might affect some populations. No It is collected for the international pet trade. Eggs are sold internationally for scientific research. ? Ceratophrys joazeirensis Caatinga Horned Frog BR DD C/S/L activities It is possibly in the national and international pet trade. No Ceratophrys ornata Ornate Horned Frog AR, BR, PY, UY NT C/S/L activities It is collected for the international pet trade and its eggs are sold internationally for scientific research. ? Chacophrys pierottii Chaco Horned Frog AR, BO, PY LC C/S/L activities It is collected for the international pet trade, and subject to heavy collecting during the breeding season. (Ongoing threat) SRG 42 Leptodactylus laticeps Santa Fe Frog AR, BO, PY NT C/S/L activities Over-harvesting for the international pet trade is a major threat. It is collected in Paraguay and Argentina, and each adult is worth $300-$600. It was a rare species by 2003 in Argentina due to overharvesting for the international pet trade. (Ongoing threat). SRG 42 MEGOPHRYIDAE Megophrys nasuta Bornean Horned Frog, Horned Toad, Large Horned Frog, Malayan BN, ID, MY, SG LC C/S/L activities The species is harvested for the national and international pet trade, which might affect local populations.

(Present and future threat). ? Collection for food and for export to the pet markets in Europe and elsewhere may be impacting some populations. (Ongoing threat) ? Over harvesting is a potential threat to this species. (Ongoing threat; used for food) ? The major threat to this species is intensive collection for consumption at subsistence levels, and for local, national and international trade. (Ongoing threat) ? The main threat is exploitation for human food, since the animals on Sulawesi, which represent an undescribed species, are very large. It is also eaten in New Guinea. (Only subsistence level at present, International trade future threat). No On Sulawesi, the major threat to the populations of this species complex is human exploitation for both local consumption and international trade. In the Philippines, threats include harvesting for human subsistence and for international export. (Present and future threat; used for food). ? It is collected for subsistence consumption and trade but most collection pressure is deflected from it by the sympatric occurrence of the larger and more common Limnonectes blythii. No Animals are harvested for food and traded within Indonesia and are probably exported to Singapore. No Most of the species in the genus Paa are consumed locally to a varying degree within their range. No There is significant over harvesting of this species for food, especially in Russia where illegal collection has increased No 15
