Amphibian Survival Alliance
89 organizations. 50+ countries. One mission.
Two out of every five amphibian species face extinction. We exist to change those odds.
Amphibians have survived for over 300 million years. They outlasted the dinosaurs. Now, they're disappearing faster than we can count them.
Amphibians face a complex array of threats requiring coordinated, global action.
Scientists describe roughly 150 new amphibian species every year. We're losing them faster than we can find them. This is the fastest decline of a vertebrate class in Earth's history. It's also the most preventable.
Sixty-three species have been pulled back from the edge since 1980—by conservationists, researchers, and communities around the world. Not by chance. By coordinated, sustained action.
That's the proof. Conservation works.
The Amphibian Survival Alliance exists to accelerate that progress. We connect the researchers, the zoos, the field teams, the policymakers. We turn isolated efforts into coordinated action.
2025 Results
275 species, 106 genera
now covered by partner conservation programs aligned with ACAP priorities
89 partners in 50+ countries
spanning all major biogeographic regions
43 Future Leaders
early-career professionals supported across five continents
98.9% approval
for IUCN Motion 075 on amphibian conservation at WCC 2025
$500,000
secured from Bezos Earth Fund for the Tropical Amphibian Resilience Initiative
97.1% progress
on our Strategic Plan, the highest rate since ASA's founding
The goal isn't just stopping the decline. It's recovery. Populations restored. Habitats protected. Species thriving where they've gone silent.
This is what the work looks like. Real programs. Measurable outcomes. Species on the path to recovery.
Year One Results — In partnership with the Smithsonian and teams in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela
Species in Focus
Atelopus cruciger
This is what recovery looks like. The Venezuelan Harlequin Frog was functionally extinct in the wild—surviving only in captivity while chytrid devastated its habitat. Five months after TARI's first releases, researchers observed wild breeding pairs for the first time in over a decade. Not holding the line. Reversing the decline.
First funding round supported projects in Ecuador, Benin, and Nepal—delivering field interventions, strengthening national datasets, and empowering community-led conservation.
43 early-career professionals supported across five continents. Conservation Planning Workshops held in Chile and Colombia. Launch of Horizons, amplifying emerging voices.
Co-organized symposium on amphibian biobanking at the 10th World Congress of Herpetology. Co-led three global forums at the 2025 IUCN World Conservation Congress.
89 partner organizations. 25% growth in the past year. This is a network that's expanding because it delivers results.
Our partners span NGOs, universities, community organizations, government agencies, and zoos across every major region. This diversity is the engine. Research informs fieldwork. Fieldwork shapes policy. Policy protects habitat. It's all connected.
When specialized expertise is needed, the network responds. When a region faces an emerging threat, knowledge transfers fast. Local solutions become global strategies.
When you invest in ASA, you're not funding one project. You're powering a system built to multiply impact.
Every ecosystem amphibians inhabit depends on them. They control insects. They move nutrients through wetlands and forests. Their biochemistry has already led to medical breakthroughs, with more still locked in species we haven't fully studied.
Lose the amphibians, and the systems they hold together start to fray.
ASA is built for accountability. In 2025, we achieved 97.1% progress on our Strategic Plan. We released 4,451 individuals through TARI. Our partnership grew 25%. Our IUCN motion passed with 98.9% support.
We don't just report results. We deliver them.
Every dollar tracked. Every outcome measured.
Fund a portion of a Future Leaders internship. Contribute to operational costs. Support educational programs reaching thousands.
Fully fund a Future Leaders position for one year. Provide emergency response funding for critical threats.
Fund habitat protection initiatives. Support targeted research on key threats. Contribute to ACAP implementation.
Enable a holistic approach: core operations, habitat protection, ACAP implementation, and capacity building combined.
Here's what your investment makes possible.
We're looking for partners who want to be part of what comes next. If you're ready to help shape the future of amphibian conservation, we'd welcome the conversation.
