Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates on Earth. Despite decades of research and conservation efforts, populations continue to decline under the combined pressures of habitat loss, climate change, disease, pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation. This crisis demands integrated, evidence-based solutions.

Trends and Challenges in Amphibian Conservation brings together leading scientists and practitioners to examine the current state of amphibian conservation worldwide. The volume covers regional status assessments, threat analyses, and practical strategies, including habitat restoration, disease management, captive breeding, and biobanking. Case studies from Africa, Asia, South America, and island ecosystems provide insights into global patterns and local challenges.

Highlighting technological innovations such as species distribution modeling, passive acoustic monitoring, and bioacoustics, the book demonstrates how modern tools are reshaping conservation planning. Chapters on policy frameworks, community engagement, and multi-institutional collaborations underscore the need for coordinated action.

This comprehensive resource is designed for researchers, students, wildlife managers, and conservation practitioners. By synthesizing scientific advances and practical experiences, it offers a roadmap for adaptive, forward-looking approaches to safeguard amphibians and the ecosystems they inhabit
