Donations

Amphibian Ark is accepting donations and inviting gift givers worldwide – corporations and individuals – to join in one of the greatest species conservation programs in the history of humanity. Amphibian Ark must raise $50-$60 million to save 500 of the most endangered species. While a $100,000 corporate or philanthropic gift allows a donor to “adopt” a frog species (or a toad, newt, salamander, or caecilian) and have the option to join scientists on a rescue mission, Amphibian Ark is asking for donations of any size to ultimately help the Ark set sail and bring amphibians to safe harbor.

Holiday gift givers can make a difference! Gifts in the name of kids or loved ones to Amphibian Ark can help avert the crisis. Donations to this global effort to save frogs and other amphibians can be made in the name of friends, family members, and/or employees. If you want to receive this beautiful gift card (see picture on the right) click on the Pay Pal button below and before you submit your donation you will get a field where you can enter the name of the donor and the name of those you have donated for. You will be sent one card for each person in whose name you have donated.
