Why is the Long-Toed Salamander endangered?
The Long-Toed Salamander is not endangered, but it is threatened. Like any Salamander, their skin is semipermeable, which aids them in absorbing water and oxygen. Chemical fertilizers are easily transmitted through water affecting salamanders. The forestry industry has also removed many of the smaller wetlands where the Long-Toed salamander is known to bred. This is common practice in the Peace River Valley, Alberta causing many populations to disappear. Another effecting factor is goldfish that have been released into the wild. These fish are commonly released into ponds and rivers after growing too large in captivity. Once released, goldfish prey upon the eggs and the larvae of the long toed salamander.
