Almost half of all amphibian species are on the path to extinction, and many have likely already disappeared. Without urgent action, many more will follow. At Amphibian Ark, we are securing a future for those species that cannot currently be safeguarded in their natural environments.

The crisis

41 %
of all amphibians are threatened with extinction
2686
species are currently on a path to extinction
222
species are considered either extinct or possibly extinct, the vast majority having disappeared since the 1980s

How we rescue amphibians in crisis

Prioritizing species in need of rescue

Working with local experts, we facilitate workshops to evaluate and prioritize species at risk and in most need of rescue through our AArk Conservation Needs Assessment process.

About our CNA process

Building conservation capacity

We provide technical training to institutions and conservationists in all aspects of species rescue, in particular, setting up and managing successful ex situ amphibian conservation programs.

Capacity Building

Supporting species rescue programs

We provide grants to support newly created ex situ programs for species that have been assessed as in need of urgent rescue.
