Froglife works to protect, conserve and secure a future for amphibians and reptiles
in the UK. We speak out for amphibians and reptiles, encouraging best-practice and
pulling in new audiences to understand and appreciate the needs of our species. Our
work addresses key threats to amphibian and reptile survival including: destruction and
removal of habitats, non-native wildlife disease, invasive species and persecution.

Five ways to help amphibians:
1.
Frogwatch!
Contributing your garden sightings of amphibians can help national
research on how they are faring against threats like non-native amphibian disease
and countryside pond loss.
Report your sightings: www.froglife.org/frogwatch
2.
Get Toad Patrolling:
Each spring thousands of toads migrate back to their
ancestral breeding ponds. At many sites this will involve crossing busy roads.
Froglife coordinate toad crossings at over 800 sites nationally, where volunteers
help toads across roads while recording important information. Take action locally:
