Allegedly disappeared due to an increase in agricultural land and settlements in Guatemala so as to make the area his life disappear. Current IUCN and San Carlos University, Guatemala has done a great living on the frogs salamanders.
6. Frog Callizalus Pictus laurent
Callizalus Pictus laurent. This frog has a habitat around the Congo and Rwanda. Has a body about 37 mm for males and 43 for females. Living in upland bamboo forests Itombwe. Because climate change is very drastic to make this frog disappeared, and the latter still can be seen in the 1950's.
5. Frogs Rio Pescado
Rio Pescado frog Atelopus Stubfoot or balios. Declared missing since last seen in the month of april 1995. Chytrid fungus is suspected that an animal makes it disappear from circulation. Besides the obvious degradation and loss of habitat soil life increasingly difficult for these frogs. Balios Atelopus species live along the river and lowland rain forest in southwest Ecuador. Popolasinya expected to decline by more than 80% over three generations. But in September 2010 the species was rediscovered Eduardo Toral-Contreras and Tapia Elicio.
4. Frog Hynobius turkestanicus
Hynobius turkestanicus or Turkestanian Salamander. Knowledge of this frog is very minimal. There are only two species in the year since 1909. Is likely to have habitat in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan or Uzbekistan. Based on information from International Conservasi This frog species has a function as a guard animal hygiene freshwater ecosystems and control germs in the water, as one possibility as a painkiller for humans.

Search conducted by the international conservation and University Malaysia Sarawak montane forest that lies between Sarawak and West Kalimantan region. And in 2011 this frog has been rediscovered. With the discovery of the Borneo Rainbow Toad can encourage research on habitat and other inventions.
