Abstract
Research on the species richness in the Amazon has been sought after for conservation work and the international trade business. Frogs, salamanders, and toads are especially rich in this wet and warm environment. This study will focus on measuring the density of these species using visual monitoring to create a list of species density and diversity. This has the goal of being able to assist in future citizen science projects in the Madre de Díos region of Peru.
