The Wildlife Without Borders-Amphibians in Decline program offers funding to conserve the world’s rapidly diminishing amphibian populations. This grant supports projects addressing critical threats to frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and caecilians facing an immediate, high risk of extinction. Eligible species are generally listed as “Critically Endangered” or “Endangered” on the IUCN Red List. “Data Deficient” species may also qualify if applicants demonstrate similar conservation urgency. Additionally, projects proposing reintroduction attempts for species listed as “Extinct in Wild” are considered under this vital Wildlife Without Borders initiative.
