What Sets Us Apart?
Amphibians, vital indicators of freshwater health and habitat integrity, are under looked and often neglected in conservation planning despite their critical role. Anura Africa is the only amphibian-focused non-profit organisation in southern Africa with a focus on frog conservation, and one of just a handful operating on the African continent.
We specialise in identifying and addressing critical conservation needs and knowledge gaps across African countries, using the Red List as our jumping off point. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and emphasises building research capacity within these countries through citizen science initiatives and strategic partnerships. By implementing sustainable habitat protection and natural resources management at a landscape level, we aim to ensure the long-term survival of key amphibian species while enhancing ecosystem resilience and species adaptation. Additionally, we prioritise promoting mindset shifts towards African amphibian and habitat conservation through environmental education, skills transfer and strengthening local conservation capacity.
Objective One
Amphibian conservation priorities and knowledge gaps are identified for African countries and are informed by conservation evidence, while
building in-country research capacity, through citizen science and partnerships.
Objective Two
Sustainable landscape-level habitat protection and natural resources management secures long-term survival of key amphibian areas and
strengthens ecosystem resilience and species adaptation, guided by global amphibian conservation priorities.
Objective Three
Mindset shifts that promote appreciation of African amphibians and important habitat conservation and are supported through environmental education, improved awareness, critical skills transfer and strengthened local capacity.
