**5. Conclusion**

In the assessment of amphibians' biogeography in major biodiversity hotspots in Kenya, it is evident that their distribution and diversity is influenced by habitat, location of the area, anthropogenic activities in the habitat as well as their level of endemism. Notably, human activities such as land use changes greatly influence the species diversity and richness. For example, in rehabilitated mines in Bamburi, the noted species patterns are possibly due to unfavorable conditions for the tenancy of amphibians that ranges from shelter, the complexity of food web, breeding, hydrological cycle, dispersal corridors in the neighborhood and the edge effect. Moreover,
