(Subsistence and National levels) In northeastern China, the main threat is over-exploitation for food and traditional Chinese medicine. (Ongoing threat) ? In the 1990s, mass collecting of R. dybowskii, mainly in the Primorye Region of Russia, for the trade in traditional Asian medicine led to population declines at a number of sites. (Past threat) No The frog-leg trade and high levels of pollution are leading to significant declines in populations of the former Yugoslavia. No This species is used for food and in traditional Chinese medicine. Ongoing threat. No In northern parts of its native range (e.g., Lake Skadar) it is significantly threatened by over collection for commercial purposes. (Ongoing threat) ? This is one of the few regional frog species for which there is a specific demand in the global pet trade. (Future threat) ? Hynobius nebulosus Clouded Salamander JP LC C/S/L activities It is collected for the pet trade. ? PLETHODONTIDAE Bolitoglossa dofleini SALAMANDRIDAE Doflein’s Mushroomtongue Salamander BZ, GT, HN NT C/S/L activities This species is potentially threatened by the international pet trade, in which it features significantly, and since this species takes 10 - 12 years to mature such trade could easily be locally unsustainable.

Review? It is being traded in the domestic and international pet markets. (Ongoing threat) ? Many potential threats, including collection for the pet trade. (Ongoing threat) ? It is exported for the international pet trade. (Ongoing threat) ? Over-exploitation for use as traditional Chinese medicine (subsistence level) and for the international pet trade is a major threat to this species. (Ongoing threat) SRG 42 A particular threat to this species is the collection of significant numbers for the pet trade. SRG 42 It is harvested for medicine and food locally. It will potentially be harvested as a pet in the future. No The principal threats include collection for commercial purposes (i.e., the pet trade).; (Ongoing threat) ? In some areas there is over collection of the species for use in education and science (this has led to the extinction of the species from some Ukrainian localities). It is also collected in small numbers for the commercial pet trade (especially T. a. inexpectatus of Calabria). ? In some parts of the range (of the former Soviet Union) there is substantial commercial collecting of this species for the pet trade. (Ongoing threat) ? In the former Soviet Union there is significant commercial collecting of this species for the pet trade. (Ongoing threat) ? There is some illegal collection of the species for the pet trade. No Triturus vittatus Banded Newt GE, IQ, IL, LB, RU, SY, TR, LC C/S/L activities In the Caucasus and Israel it is threatened by collection for ? 17
