Who We Are
Founded in 2011, the Amphibian Survival Alliance (ASA) has grown into a global network of partners committed to a sustainable future for amphibians. Our alliance is fueled by a collective dedication to coordinated conservation action, which we actively promote and facilitate through an ever-expanding, engaged, and collaborative partnership worldwide.
Amphibians are more than just fascinating creatures; they are essential indicators of environmental health and contributors to human well-being. They serve crucial functions in ecosystems, offer potential medical benefits, and have even facilitated Nobel Prize-winning advances in developmental biology. However, they are currently the most threatened vertebrate group, facing a myriad of challenges including habitat destruction, disease, and climate change. Their decline mirrors broader environmental and societal challenges, making their conservation a shared responsibility.
The urgency of our mission is highlighted by the challenges facing amphibians. We are committed to turning awareness into action, and challenges into opportunities for positive change. Our focus remains steadfast: to reverse these negative trends and protect amphibians for future generations.
Our strategic goals serve as the foundation for our work, guiding our actions and collaborations to address complex challenges effectively.
