Gandiphali, located at 25°5'10" and 25°4'21"N latitude and 76°0'24" and 76°0'18"E longitude, and Godlyahedi (25°7'50" and 25°8'29"N latitude and 76°1'10" and 76°1'29"E longitude) are both medium-sized villages located in Ladpura Tehsil of Kota district, Rajasthan, both about 20 km from Kota, to the east of Gandiphali and northeast of Godlyahedi. Both villages are rich in biodiversity, including a diverse range of flora and fauna as well as a significant variety of anurans. The study is carried out from September 2018 to June 2024, and by the observation, knowledge is gained about identifying the species of anurans. The direct sighting method is used for getting evidence of the species of frogs and toads in the area; the field observation and data are collected weekly with the help of a high-quality camera and other supporting equipment, and we capture the photos and videos. sonotaxonomy of anurans to identify the species based on the recorded sounds, with the help of the key of anurans and the BNHS book and research papers. Visual Encounter Surveys During the rainy season in field wells and wetlands, it was found that there are a total of 11 anuran species belonging to 03 families and 06 genera and 1 anuran species unidentify. Most of the found members belong to the family Dicroglossidae (04 genera and 08 species), which represents the first position among Bufonidae and Microhylidae. The study is based on conservation strategies for the near future to protect the anurans and observation of the anurans in both areas. The study also suggests protecting the area belonging to the anurans.
