The Partnership

The Amphibian Survival Alliance Partnership

In a world where amphibian populations are under increasing threat, the Amphibian Survival Alliance (ASA) stands as a beacon of collaborative action. We bring together a global network of organizations and institutions, all committed to halting and reversing these declines. The strength of ASA lies in our partnerships, which enable us to pool resources, knowledge, and expertise. Our mission is not just to respond to the crisis but to proactively strengthen and consolidate the impact of conservation actions. By fostering a strong, diverse, and collaborative partnership, ASA amplifies the effectiveness of these actions, ensuring a more secure future for amphibians worldwide.

Organizations and institutions interested in aligning their conservation efforts with ASA’s strategic goals are encouraged to become partners. To initiate the partnership process, please email [email protected].

The Amphibian Survival Alliance works in close collaboration with the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group and Amphibian Ark, whose expertise inform our conservation strategies. Their combined insights into scientific research and ex situ conservation practices help us to address the challenges facing amphibians with informed precision. This collaboration ensures our actions are not only scientifically sound but also practically focused on providing real-world solutions for amphibian conservation.

As a partner, you’ll be part of a global network committed to amphibian conservation. Your organization will benefit from a range of opportunities designed to enhance your impact, from capacity building and policy integration to action support and resource identification.

Aligned with our goal to enhance the capacity of ASA partners, we support you in identifying training needs and developing capacity to implement conservation programs.

In line with our objective to integrate amphibians into international and national policies, we assist you in engaging with governments, NGOs, and communities.

Our aim to increase conservation actions for amphibians offers you guidance in identifying and implementing local and regional conservation actions.

Our focus on promoting partnerships ensures you have opportunities to collaborate within the ASA network and with other organizations.

We support you in identifying Key Biodiversity Areas and Alliance for Zero Extinction Sites, in line with our goal to effectively and efficiently achieve ASA’s mission

Partners can access a range of resources including funding opportunities, communications support, and the latest scientific guidance to inform conservation planning
