Trends

Extinct in the wild after the population crashed dramatically in 2003.

The last population boom was in June 2003 when an estimated 20,000 Kihansi toads were reported seen.

By August 2003 only 40 toads were found (for probable causes see the Conservation and threats section) by January 2004 only five. By May 2005 a biologist claimed to have seen one individual.
