Endemic amphibia
<p>The proposed railway line will pass through habitats that host many endemic and endangered species such as the Malabar tree toad <em>Pedostibes tuberculosus</em>. For amphibians that are largely limited in their ability to move long distances, the railway line will act as a barrier, eventually resulting in the loss of gene flow and increasing extinction risk.</p>
