The Lacey Act was amended by FWS in 2016 and it now lists 201 species of salamander as injurious. It essentially bans sale ownership and transport of almost all salamanders. There is a strain of chytrid (Bsal) that is significantly affecting salamander populations in Europe and Asia but is not yet present in North America. The amendment was passed to assure that Bsal does not come here and wipe out native populations.
