چکیده مقاله:
The Persian Brook Salamander, Batrachuperus persicus, an endemic amphibian species, isfound in north and northwest of Iran (south and west of the Caspian Sea in Mazandaranand Ardabil Provinces). It has a limited range and its current situation is unknown. So, asurvey was conducted from Oct. ۲۰۰۶ to Nov. ۲۰۰۷ to know more about conservationstatus, habitat future and threats based on field works in two most known habitats,Weyser, southeast of Chalus in Mazandaran province and Delmadeh village, southeast ofKhalkhal in Ardabil province. In four times of visiting, the senior author just found fourliving salamanders. The result showed that most wild populations are threatened andeven going into extinction. Habitat loss, severe droughts, deforestation and of people'slack of knowledege are among the most important threats. It is evident that this species isvulnerable and deserves strict protection at national and international levels. It is clearthat for a virtual conservation plan, we need to support the streams and habitats of thisspecies in long time.
