Advancing Amphibian Conservation in Africa
As habitats are transformed and climate change impacts become increasingly realised, Africa’s amphibians are at greater risk of extinction. Amphibians are flagships for freshwater health, habitat integrity and diversity, yet are often the last to be considered in conservation planning. Globally, 40.7% of amphibians are threatened. Scaling up conservation action for amphibians has never been more critical, especially in Africa where research and conservation capacity is severely limited.
Anura Africa is committed to advancing amphibian conservation in southern Africa and across the African continent, by:
​
-
Identifying conservation needs and knowledge gaps
-
Bolstering local research capacity
-
Implementing conservation actions informed by evidence.​
We aim to support sustainable landscape-level habitat protection by facilitating natural resource management practices to safeguard critical amphibian habitat. Our approach is guided by global amphibian conservation priorities, with a focus on enhancing ecosystem resilience to ensure species adaptation. Through an appreciation for African amphibian conservation, we aim to enhance skills development, citizen science contributions, awareness and strengthened local capacity.
For Frogs, For Freshwater, For our Future.

At Anura Africa, our landscape-level conservation approach centres on Africa’s remarkable amphibians as sentinels for ecosystem health and resilience.
Anura Africa was founded by an Award-winning amphibian biologist, Dr Jeanne Tarrant and a career ecologist, Keir Lynch, who between them have more than three decades of conservation experience.
