Amphibian Rescue

by Amphibian Ark

When amphibians began disappearing around the world, conservation had to change.  The podcast begins by revisiting the discovery of the amphibian extinction crisis and the creation of Amphibian Ark in 2006. From there, we share real-world stories of species rescue, conservation breeding, and reintroduction efforts around the globe.  Through conversations and stories from conservationists, researchers, and institutions around the world, this podcast explores how ex situ conservation, including rescue, managed care, and conservation breeding, has become a critical tool for giving frogs, salamanders, and caecilians a second chance.   ___   Launched in celebration of 20 years of Amphibian Ark, this podcast is: Produced and hosted by María BraeunerWith original music by Pablo Bolaños | Biota Specimens (https://biota-specimens.com)Reviewed and fact-checked by the Amphibian Ark team of experts: Luis Carrillo, Devin Edmonds, Renata Ibelli Vaz, Jonathan Wilcken, Cybele Lisboa, Elizabeth Townsend, María José Chang, Beatriz VelásquezMade possible by the generous support of our donors around the world.   🎧 Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. 🌍 Learn more: www.AmphibianArk.org 💚 Support Amphibian Ark’s work: www.AmphibianArk.org/support-us/ Together, we can continue rescuing amphibians in crisis.
