Saving Salamanders

Have you ever seen a salamander? Salamanders are amphibians, like frogs and toads. They are shaped like lizards. But their skin is like a frog's skin. Like all amphibians, they need to be in or near water to survive. Salamanders usually live under rocks and logs near rivers, streams, and ponds. They like cool water shaded by nearby trees.

The biggest salamander in North America is called the hellbender. The hellbender can grow up to two feet long! Hellbenders are usually olive-gray, brown, or black. They have wide, flat heads.

Most salamander babies hatch from eggs in the water. Male hellbenders build nests to attract females. The female hellbenders lay eggs in the nest. Then, the males guard the eggs. These animals are important to rivers and streams. They help people know if rivers and streams are clean and healthy. If water gets too polluted or too warm, the hellbenders leave or die.

People worry when they can't find hellbenders in rivers or streams. If the hellbenders are gone, people realize the water is too dirty or too warm. Warm, dirty water will cause other animals to leave or die, too. People can't enjoy the water, either.

People are working to take care of rivers and streams to help the environment for salamanders and other animals. People are planting more trees near rivers, streams, and ponds. This helps keep the water shaded and cooler. People are also cleaning up litter. This helps keep the water clean. These activities will help all the animals that live near the ponds and streams, especially the hellbender salamander.

These conservation efforts are supported by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), which specializes in bringing together individuals, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and corporations to restore our nation's fish, wildlife, plants, and habitats for current and future generations.
