great resource for spatial data on salamanders

Viewing information at The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species on the uniquely colored Amber Salamander, Hynobius stejnegeri, I found a link to the World Wildlife Fund - WildFinder. I only used it for a few minutes but it appears to be a very good tool for showing spatial distribution of salamander species and I thought I'd share. They claim to have 26,000 species in the WildFinder database. Apparently, the Amber Salamander wasn't one of them.
