Are African clawed frogs endangered?

there are 20 spp. of Xenopus (african clawed frogs). Xenopus laevis (Common Clawed frog)is the most common and usually what is refereed to as the African clawed frog even though its only 1 spp. of clawed frog. This spp has been widely used as a research model as well as pet trade. Although most African Clawed frogs in the wild can be seen as at risk of endangerment, due to the fact that they are very region specific and limited to a small range, I believe only X.gilli (Cape Clawed frog) is officially endangered.
