Amphibian Conservation is the fourth in the series of Synopses of
Conservation Evidence, linked to the online resource
www.ConservationEvidence.com. This synopsis is part of the
Conservation Evidence project and provides a useful resource for
conservationists. It forms part of a series designed to promote a
more evidence-based approach to biodiversity conservation. Others
in the series include bee, bird, farmland and bat conservation and
many others are in preparation. Approximately 32% of the 7,164+
amphibian species are currently threatened with extinction and at
least 43% of species are declining. Despite this, until recently
amphibians and their conservation had received little attention.
Although work is now being carried out to conserve many species,
often it is not adequately documented. This book brings together
and summarises the available scientific evidence and experience
relevant to the practical conservation of amphibians. The authors
consulted an international group of amphibian experts and
conservationists to produce a thorough summary of what is known, or
not known, about the effectiveness of amphibian conservation
actions across the world. "The book is packed with literature
summaries and citations; a veritable information goldmine for
graduate students and researchers. It also admirably provides
decision makers with a well-researched resource of proven
interventions that can be employed to stem/reverse the decline of
amphibian populations." -John G Palis, Bulletin of the Chicago
Herpetological Society
