Abstract
Response to ‘Wetland biodiversity of Ramaroshan Lake complex: a need for conservation’ on JoTT Vol 16 issue 12 <https://doi.org/10.11609/jott.7918.15.12.24299-24320>. Many information in the article promising, highlighting the additional attention the area should receive for conservation. However, there are some aspects, particularly that are related to conservation status and endemism of amphibian species which is misleading, making me to realize to write this response.
