Download or read book Amphibian Conservation written by Rebecca K. Smith. This book was released on 2014-05-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amphibian Conservation is the fourth in the series of Synopses of Conservation Evidence, linked to the online resource www.ConservationEvidence.com. This synopsis is part of the Conservation Evidence project and provides a useful resource for conservationists. It forms part of a series designed to promote a more evidence-based approach to biodiversity conservation. Others in the series include bee, bird, farmland and bat conservation and many others are in preparation. Approximately 32% of the 7,164+ amphibian species are currently threatened with extinction and at least 43% of species are declining. Despite this, until recently amphibians and their conservation had received little attention. Although work is now being carried out to conserve many species, often it is not adequately documented. This book brings together and summarises the available scientific evidence and experience relevant to the practical conservation of amphibians. The authors consulted an international group of amphibian experts and conservationists to produce a thorough summary of what is known, or not known, about the effectiveness of amphibian conservation actions across the world. "The book is packed with literature summaries and citations; a veritable information goldmine for graduate students and researchers. It also admirably provides decision makers with a well-researched resource of proven interventions that can be employed to stem/reverse the decline of amphibian populations." -John G Palis, Bulletin of the Chicago Herpetological Society

Book Synopsis Beaver Reintroduction and Its Potential as an Ecological Conservation Measure for at Risk Amphibian Species in the Pacific Northwest by :
Download or read book Beaver Reintroduction and Its Potential as an Ecological Conservation Measure for at Risk Amphibian Species in the Pacific Northwest written by . This book was released on 2021. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amphibian decline is a major concern in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), with many amphibian species listed as sensitive, threatened or endangered throughout the region. Some of the predicted main causes of amphibian decline are climate change and loss of habitat. The reintroduction of beavers into ecoregions of the PNW could be an important step in the conservation of this region’s amphibians, due to the beaver’s ability to engineer and structurally manipulate forest ecosystems. Beavers are able to restore wetland quality, productivity and biodiversity, creating vital amphibian habitat. This work explored the linkage between beaver presence and wetland hydrology, geomorphology, landscape heterogeneity, and biodiversity, as well as amphibian habitability, breeding and climate change resilience to determine if wetland restoration via beaver reintroduction could be a viable tool for amphibian species conservation in the PNW. Specific emphasis was placed on reintroducing beavers as a tool for habitat restoration, ecological management, and amphibian conservation, with a focus on anuran amphibian species. Beaver reintroduction and population management was found to be a valuable tool for the conservation of amphibian species, with their influences on wetland and riparian habitat positively relating to specific PNW amphibian species special needs, limiting factors, and recommended conservation measures.
