The world’s amphibian authorities from academia, zoos, government, veterinary medicine, and other diverse disciplines convened to conceptualize an Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP), outlining general responses required in the fields of research, assessment, conservation, and rapid response to stem widespread global amphibian extinctions. The IUCN/SSC Amphibian Specialist Group (ASG), the organization overseeing implementation of the ACAP, specifically tasked the IUCN/SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group (CBSG) with implementation of the ex situ aspects of ACAP’s goals. From 12-15 February 2006, CBSG and WAZA hosted an Amphibian Ex Situ Conservation Planning Workshop in El Valle, Panama. Unlike the prior meeting in DC, this group called upon only those amphibian biologists with expertise in the issues surrounding captive maintenance of amphibians. Fifty such people from 14 countries representing every amphibian-inhabited continent divided into four working groups to develop strategies for Organization of the ex situ community, Best Practices for husbandry and quarantine, developing objective criteria for Species Selection, and conceptually organizing Rapid Response Programs. Major Conclusions Organization: An administrative structure was proposed in which the ex situ community would liaise with the larger Amphibian Specialist Group (ASG) through an advisory board consisting of representatives from CBSG and WAZA, among others. The advisory board would, among other tasks, develop and monitor strategies for implementing the ex situ part of the initiative in coordination with the in situ component, direct fundraising activities, and ensure excellent communication with all stakeholders. The advisory board and the WAZA executive director would oversee the activities of an Amphibian Program Officer, who would in turn provide advice to implementing partners in the ex situ community regarding knowledge and technology transfer, breeding programs, regional coordination, and species priorities. Best Practices: Standards are provided for the ex situ housing and maintenance of amphibians and recommendations made for fostering community involvement. These husbandry standards are designed to ensure the highest quality of care for captive amphibians, to minimize the transmission of disease between captive species, and to prevent the introduction of exotic pathogens into novel environments. They are intended to be general husbandry guidelines. Specific protocols will be determined by the individual species selection process. Species Selection: A Decision Tree was constructed to quantify the appropriateness for a given species to be included in an ex situ program. Phase One of the Decision Tree ensures there is justification for an ex situ program. It consists of three fundamental questions with “yes” or “no” answers. These questions should be applied to the taxon under consideration, answering each honestly and objectively. Phase Two of the Decision Tree takes those species that have ‘passed’ Phase One and attempts to prioritize them, i.e., with limited resources (space, staff, money etc.) which species should have ex situ programs established ahead of others. It takes the form of a series of questions with weighted scores. The total score for a species indicates how ‘important’ an ex situ program for the species is in relation to others. Some questions may not be straightforward to answer and will require consultation with colleagues, taxonomic experts and other individuals/groups working with the species. Phase Three of the Decision Tree considers 11 the practical feasibility of initiating and maintaining an ex situ program once justified and considered a priority. Rapid Response Programs: Rapid response programs

    Annual Report Javan green magpie at Chester Zoo. © Chester Zoo Annual Report 2 President’s Letter Jenny Gray In the life of every organisation, there are years of transforma‑ tional change. For WAZA, 2017 was a transformational change. The first half of the year was marked by a change of leadership, both the executive – with the retirement of Gerald Dick and the recruit‑ ment of Doug Cress – and the President, with Susan Hunt leaving Perth Zoo, requiring me to step up early to take on the role of President of WAZA. This annual report will show that despite the changes and transformation the year delivered a number of significant milestones. In April, WAZA and Detroit Zoo hosted a welfare conference that saw zoo and aquarium directors share the stage with animal‑welfare academics and advocates. The first round of the WAZA Nature Connect Grants programme, made possible with support from the Disney Conservation Fund and the International Zoo Educators Association, saw hundreds of families engage with nature across 11 countries around the world. The 72nd WAZA Conference, which took place in Berlin in October, was at full capacity, with external keynote speakers and mean‑ ingful discussions. Increased engagement with major conserva‑ tion organisations, like IUCN Species Survival Commission, UN Environment and CITES, set the stage for impactful Sumatran orangutan participation and the improved reputation of WAZA. mum Emma with one‑day‑old infant at Chester Zoo. © Chester Zoo 3 Yet, 2018 holds more change.
