Our mission is rescuing amphibians in crisis.
Amphibian Ark leads efforts to save amphibian species that face immediate extinction risks.
By establishing ex situ rescue populations, we buy critical time for these species until their natural environments can support them again. Our efforts are complemented by global partners and experts who support each step of the process.

The vision
With the shared vision of building a future where amphibians thrive in nature, Amphibian Ark works in synergy with the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group (ASG) and the Amphibian Survival Alliance (ASA).
Amphibian Ark leads in the rescue of amphibian species in dire circumstances via temporary ex situ solutions. By establishing ex situ populations, we buy critical time for these species until their natural environments can support them once again. Amphibian Ark leads on Conservation Needs Assessments, implementing rescue programs for species at risk, integrated planning, and capacity-building.
The IUCN SSC ASG provides the scientific foundation to inform effective global amphibian conservation. The ASG's Red List Authority (ARLA) maintains the amphibian assessments on the IUCN Red List through the Global Amphibian Assessment Initiative.
ASA works to conserve amphibians in the wild and coordinate global partnerships, funding, communication, and education.
Together we strive towards this unified vision by promoting global conservation efforts that are scientifically informed, strategically directed, and inclusive of diverse stakeholders.
