The inner islands of the Seychelles Archipelago are a Gondwanan fragment, and have been isolated in the Western Indian Ocean since the Palaeocene. The region forms part of the Madagascar Biodiversity Hotspot and harbours a high proportion of endemic, evolutionarily distinct amphibian taxa. Recent work has begun to uncover their biogeographic relationships, life histories, and ecological requirements. With particular focus on the Sooglossidae (one of only two amphibian families endemic to islands), a summary of recent discoveries will be presented, along with conservation actions currently underway.
