Amphibian Conservation Action Plan

Founded in 1948, The World Conservation Union brings together States, government agencies and a diverse range of non-governmental organizations in a unique world partnership: over 1,000 members in all, spread across some 140 countries. As a Union, IUCN seeks to influence, encourage and assist societies throughout the world to conserve the integrity and diversity of nature and to ensure that any use of natural resources is equitable and ecologically sustainable. The World Conservation Union builds on the strengths of its members, networks and partners to enhance their capacity and to support global alliances to safeguard natural resources at local, regional and global levels. The Species Survival Commission (SSC) is the largest of IUCN's six volunteer commissions with a global membership of 8,000 experts. SSC advises IUCN and its members on the wide range of technical and scientific aspects of species conservation and is dedicated to securing a future for biodiversity. SSC has significant input into the international agreements dealing with biodiversity conservation. The designation of geographical entities in this report, and the presentation of the material, do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of IUCN concerning the legal status of any country, territory, or area, or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Cover photo: Male Mallorcan midwife toad, Alytes muletensis, with eggs. As a result of a successful recovery program, this species was downlisted two categories from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable in 2005. The cover of this book is printed on ChorusArt silk, 80# cover, 50% recycled paper (15% post-consumer waste), FSC ™, and Elemental Chlorine Free. The text of this book is printed on Rolland Enviro™100, 70# text, 100% recycled paper (100% post-consumer waste), certified Ecologo, Processed Chlorine Free, FSC-Recycled ™, and manufactured using biogas energy. Extinction is inevitable—more than 99.9% of Earth's species are extinct (Raup 1991). David Raup went on to observe that " Extinction is a difficult research topic. No critical experiment can be performed, and inferences are all too often influenced by preconceptions based on …
