Prof Ama毛l BORZ脡E
I am a professor at Nanjing Forestry University, and my principal research interest is behavioural ecology and wildlife conservation. My original focus is on understanding the reasons behind the amphibian decline, the links with their behavioural ecology, and their conservation through research. I am now however shifting towards the breeding behaviour and conservation of species in general, in East Asia. My primary experience was with treefrogs in Korea, until I started working in China in September 2019. I now wish to address broader questions aimed at the conservation of multi-species populations over large landscapes, including multiple types of approaches and analytical tools.

More about the Specialist Group
Amphibians declines and extinctions have been an ongoing concern for decades, but it wasn鈥檛 until 2004 that we got a much clearer picture of the extent of the issue, when the Global Amphibian Assessment (GAA) provided the first comprehensive overview of amphibian extinction risk in the world. The results that emerged were nothing short of alarming, with one in every three amphibian species threatened with extinction and one in every four species with ...
MISSION
ASG provides the scientific foundation to inform amphibian conservation action around the world. More specifically, the ASG stimulates, develops and conducts scientific research to inform the conservation of amphibians and their habitats around the world, supports the assessment of the conservation status of amphibian biodiversity and informs the general public of amphibian conservation-related issues and priorities.
Specialist Group work
Given the very broad taxonomic and geographic (global) scope of the ASG, our priorities are regionally (Regional Groups), thematically (ACAP Thematic Working Groups), and extinction risk-informed (Amphibian Red List Authority).
We support and mobilize a global network to achieve shared, strategic amphibian conservation goals.
Learn about ASG鈥檚 work and results in 2023 and the years before.

Projects of the Specialist Group
The ASG has several strategic components that allow it to take a multi-pronged approach to global amphibian research and conservation. Below you鈥檒l find links to some of ASG鈥檚 key components.聽
