The Johannesburg Zoo Amphibian Conservation and Research Project
The Amphibian Conservation Project was started in
March 2006, and the initial aims and goals of the
Project were to successfully keep common species of
indigenous amphibians in captivity with the goal of
eventually moving on to keeping and breeding endangered
analogue species of indigenous amphibians. Secondly to
compile husbandry guidelines and protocols on how to
keep and breed the species being kept in the collection.
Thirdly to successfully breed each species of frog to an
F3 generation and finally to conduct research on the
breeding, enclosure design and husbandry of each species
of amphibian.

Collection
