Product overview1 text field

The Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy (ARC) is a conservation nonprofit organization, not a technology product company. ARC operates headstarting and captive breeding programs to conserve imperiled amphibians and reptiles. Its primary offerings include intensive headstarting efforts for species like the frosted flatwoods salamander, involving egg collection from ephemeral ponds, captive rearing to improve survival rates, and wild release programs. The organization focuses on conservation as a stop-gap measure while policy action on endangered species status remains pending.

NewsobserverNC’s rarest salamander was hanging on by a thread. Then Helene hit.Hurricane Helene devastated the habitat of the Hickory Nut Gorge green salamander in North Carolina, prompting biologists from the Amphibian Reptile Conservancy and the NC Zoo to rescue 25 individuals for captive breeding. The species, which had an estimated population of only 300 to 500 before the storm, is currently under review for protection under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. Conservationists have also secured funding through the Phoenix Species Project to support efforts to prevent the extinction of this unique amphibian.National GeographicAfter Hurricane Helene, the country’s tiniest turtle is even closer to extinctionConservationists are working to restore habitats for the southern bog turtle, North America's smallest turtle species, following catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene in September 2024, which destroyed or buried the fragile wetland pockets where these turtles live. The species already faced steep population declines from habitat loss, predation, and poaching, with surveys suggesting a 50 percent decline this century and only about 14 viable sites remaining in North Carolina. Organizations including Tangled Bank Conservation, the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, and the Nature Conservancy are implementing strategies such as nest cages, predator fencing, road tunnels, and head-start programs at the Knoxville Zoo to prevent the species' extinction before a 2028 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision on whether to list it as endangered.The Times of IndiaTexas released 3 million eggs to bring back a toad that disappeared from Houston 50 years ago; one male has now appeared in restored habitat - The Times of IndiaThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released approximately 3 million captive-bred Houston toad eggs this year as part of an ambitious conservation program to rebuild wild populations in Central Texas. A male Houston toad has now been sighted in restored habitat in Bastrop County, marking a recovery milestone for the critically endangered species that vanished from the Houston area over 50 years ago. The collaborative recovery program involves the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, the Houston Zoo, the Dallas Zoo, the Fort Worth Zoo, and the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy.Houston ChronicleHouston toad makes comeback after disappearing from Harris CountyA male Houston toad was recently spotted on a restored private property in Bastrop County, Texas, marking the species' reappearance after disappearing from Harris County more than 50 years ago. USFWS biologists released 170,000 Houston toad eggs in April as part of a larger effort to reintroduce 3 million eggs and restore wild populations across Central Texas, with conservation partners including Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, three Texas zoos, and the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy. The Houston toad was among the first amphibians protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1970, and rapid development destroyed and fragmented its habitat, leaving the species surviving in the wild only in Bastrop County.BBCCumbria sand dune scheme aims to aid rare toads and beetlesThe UK government has announced funding for a three-year conservation project in Cumbria to protect two rare species: the northern dune tiger beetle and the natterjack toad, both of which inhabit sand dune ecosystems. The project will be led by Amphibian and Reptile Conservation and involves surveying sand dune habitats to determine population sizes and explore options for relocating beetles from Merseyside to new sites in Cumbria. The natterjack toad population has declined to only a few thousand remaining in the entire UK, while the northern dune tiger beetle is found at only two locations in the country.The Cool DownArizona gives 21 threatened snakes a new creekside home, achieving the 100th releaseOn May 19, teams from the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Phoenix Zoo, U.S. Forest Service, Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, and University of Arizona released 21 captive-born narrow-headed garter snakes into Canyon Creek within Tonto National Forest. The release marked the 100th snake returned to the wild through the Phoenix Zoo's breeding program for this threatened species, which is native to Arizona and New Mexico. Researchers implanted microchips in each snake and installed tracking arrays to monitor the released and wild populations through the summer.Inside Climate NewsCan Clusters of Human-Constructed Ponds in the Arizona Desert Save a Threatened Frog?Thomas Biebighauser, founder of Wetland Restoration and Training LLC, and the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy are constructing six artificial ponds at Arizona's White Mountain Grasslands Wildlife Area to create habitat for the Chiricahua leopard frog, a species threatened by drought, wildfire, invasive species, and a deadly fungal disease. The ponds use liners to hold water since there is no groundwater in the area, with the team relying on monsoon rains to fill them while aiming to establish a metapopulation that can relocate if individual sites fail. The project, delayed from 2024 due to wildfires, is part of a broader recovery effort that has tripled habitat sites for the frog since its 2002 listing under the Endangered Species Act.NPRInside the effort to save one of America's most imperiled salamandersThe Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy (ARC) is conducting intensive headstarting efforts to save the frosted flatwoods salamander, one of North America's most imperiled amphibians, by collecting eggs from ephemeral ponds during drought and raising them in captivity to improve survival rates before wild release. The species' habitat—the longleaf pine forests of the Southeastern U.S.—has been reduced to just 3% of its original range, with the salamander now known to exist in only four isolated areas facing imminent extinction risk. Despite a 2019 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service status review recommending the species be reclassified from threatened to endangered, the agency has yet to take action, leaving conservationists to rely on captive breeding programs as a stop-gap measure.
