Kaiser's spotted newt (''Neurergus kaiseri''), also known as the Luristan newt or emperor spotted Newt (not to be confused with ''Tylototriton shanjing''), is a species of very colourful salamanders in the Salamandridae family. It is endemic to the southern Zagros Mountains in Iran. It is primarily found in highland streams surrounded by arid scrubland, but can also be found in ponds and pools. Water is absent from its habitat for a significant part of the year, during which this species is known to estivate. It is considered critically endangered due to its tiny range (it inhabits an area of less than 10 km2), continuing habitat loss, and the illegal capture of salamanders for the wild animal trade. In 2008, the wild population was estimated at less than 1000 individuals.〔Sharifi, M., Papenfuss, T.,Rastegar-Pouyani, N., Anderson, S. & Kuzmin, S. 2009. (Neurergus kaiseri'' ). (2014 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species ). Downloaded on 28 September 2014.〕 However, a new survey in 2014〔http://www.redlist-arc.org/Article-PDFs/Neurergus%20kaiseri%20range%20and%20distribution.pdf〕 estimates a population of over 9,000 adults, and range estimate that could provide habitat for more than 40,000 ''Neurergus kaiseri''. ==Conservation== The Luristan newt is a candidate for CITES listing. It also has a breeding program involving several European and North American zoos, such as Sedgwick County Zoo. Iran is planning on starting its own breeding program.
