Discovering Frog Diversity Around the World with AMNH

For more than a century, herpetologists from the American Museum of Natural History have pioneered frog research worldwide. Expeditions to remote regions enable researchers to observe species in their natural habitats and collect specimens for further study. AMNH scientists have discovered upward of 160 new frog species, including more than 10 in the past year.

Scientists from AMNH are actively engaged in conservation efforts and have contributed their expertise to the Global Amphibian Assessment Program, which is measuring extinction threats for all frog species. The AMNH Amphibian Species of the World, an online database, is the authoritative catalog of frog diversity, used by more than 8,000 researchers a month.
