Amphibians at ZSL London Zoo

Amphibians are the most endangered animals on the planet. In the last 20 years, more amphibian species have declined in numbers than any other group of animals. If we don't work fast, many of these unique and enigmatic creatures could disappear entirely from the wild within our lifetime. If this happens, their importance in medical research, pest control and as indicators of healthy environments will vanish along with them. ZSL London Zoo is involved in a large number of projects studying and counteracting amphibian diseases and the effects of invasive species; creating sustainable practices for farming and trade; looking into how species move around between habitats and, where possible, reintroducing healthy, captive-bred amphibians back into the wild. ZSL is also a part of and supports the Amphibian Survival Alliance .
