Incorrect IUCN status for Uperodon mormoratus

The Indian Dot Frog, Uperodon mormoratus, has an IUCN status of “EN”, endangered on iNaturalist. The species page, under the Status tab points to this page on iucnredlist.org.

There, as you can see, it says: “This is not the latest assessment for this species. See the latest assessments: Global”. This page shows the result of the assessment in 2004.

The other link, however shows the more recent result of the assessment in 2021. This assessment puts the Indian Dot Frog under “LC” Least Concern. This should reflect on iNaturalist, right?

Here’s my observation of the frog: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/290609133. It’s endemic to the Western Ghats, so I am happy I saw it here.

please directly flag the species on iNat, and a curator can amend the status for you
