Amphibian Survival Alliance

Amphibian Survival Alliance Partnership Benefits

A Message from the Executive Director For too long now we have heard stories of declines, extinction and lack of hope with regards to conserving biodiversity and especially amphibians. The Amphibian Survival Alliance plans to change this rhetoric by focusing on new opportunities and delivering conservation successes.

Our Partners have already demonstrated what can be achieved to protect amphibians around the world, ensuring thriving ecosystems for the benefit of all biodiversity, including us. By building on the impressive track record work of a dedicated and passionate community we will engage a broader and more diverse audience than ever before.

We believe that this movement needs to be about more than people donating to a cause that they believe in; it needs to be about people sharing their stories, becoming engaged and focusing on making a difference to the survival of the 7000+ amphibian species that share our planet. We want our supporters to be advocates for the cause, inspired to take action in multiple ways. By sharing the impact the ASA is having on amphibians around the world we will be able to engage a range of people and donors who perhaps had not considered supporting amphibians in the past. We will ensure that the ASA is judged on our conservation impact. To help donors assess our success we will continually report on progress made on short, medium and long-term goals.

This is a new and exciting time for amphibian conservation and research, and we look forward to working with you to make the changes we all want to see.

Our Mission and Vision The ASA protects amphibians and their habitats through dynamic partnerships worldwide.

We envision a world in which the extinction of known threatened species of amphibians has been prevented and their conservation status, particularly of those most in decline, has been improved and sustained.

The ASA’s Vision mirrors the Aichi Biodiversity Target 12, one of the 20 Targets that nearly 200 countries, through the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and its Strategic Plan, committed to meet by 2020 to save biodiversity and enhance its benefits for people. The ASA is well positioned to help those signatories meet their commitment to saving biodiversity.

By focusing on amphibians and the habitats upon which they depend, the ASA is working to improve the quality of life for many other species - including ourselves - around the world.
