ARC is the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on identifying and conserving the highest priority places for amphibians and reptiles in the United States. We protect endangered amphibians and reptiles through a strategic, scientific, and passionate approach that allows us to make a real difference.
We implement localized, on-the-ground conservation projects in PARCAs (Priority Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Areas) and weave them together across the country into a national strategy capable of making a great impact. We act with the urgency required to save those species and ecosystems at the greatest risk.
We believe the conservation of amphibians, reptiles, and the habitats they depend on is vitally important. In these important areas, we develop dynamic conservation programs that recover priority species, improve habitats, and ultimately restore ecosystems.
