How we save them

Froglife works to protect amphibians and reptiles in a number of different ways.

Creating habitats
We have a number of projects to create and improve the areas that our species depend on. We're working on the ground in Peterborough, London and Glasgow, and at a strategic level to ensure these habitats are protected.

Campaigning for toad-friendly roads
Amphibian populations, particularly toads, can be devastated by having to cross roads when they make their way back to ponds to breed in spring. Through our Toads on Roads campaign, volunteers are saving as many as 40,000 toads a year by physically helping them across busy roads. We have all sorts of resources and materials for Toad Patrollers, including how to manage Patrols and collect important data.

Understanding wildlife disease
There are a number of potentially disastrous diseases currently affecting amphibians across the world, with one third of species at risk of extinction. Working with the Institute of Zoology and members of the public who have found diseased animals, we are part of efforts to monitor and hopefully control these diseases in the UK.

Learning and education
Communicating our enthusiasm for amphibians and reptiles is a big passion for Froglife staff! Through a number of innovative and inclusive education and learning projects, as well as developing resources for schools and other groups to download, we're encouraging new audiences to get involved in reptile and amphibian conservation.
