Abstract

The number of amphibian reintroductions and other conservation translocations has increased in recent decades. Amphibian reintroductions are challenging and may not always work, but amphibian reintroductions may be the best or only option for conserving some species. Clearer guidance to plan, implement, and obtain resources for amphibian reintroductions is needed to improve conservation outcomes. These Guidelines outline the most important considerations for each stage of an amphibian reintroduction. They provide guidance, best practices, case studies, and links to helpful resources that will be useful for a wide variety of practitioners involved in amphibian reintroductions.
