The mainland of the Americas is the longest north-to-south landmass on Earth. At its longest, it stretches roughly 14,000 kilometres.
Ornamental Fish in the Brazilian Amazon
The Amazonian export trade in ornamental fish is estimated at over US $100 million annually, yet there is currently very little regulation or monitoring of this trade and its environmental impact.
Amphibian Conservation in the Caribbean
ZSL is heavily involved in the global fight to save the world’s amphibians.
This work is particularly important in the Caribbean, where outbreaks of a deadly disease have had devastating effects.
Chytridiomycosis, a fungal skin condition, is threatening remaining populations of unique amphibian species in the Caribbean.
ZSL is working with other organisations to address this disease threat through capacity building in Dominica.

Partula Snail Conservation
Most of Oceania consists of island nations comprising thousands of coral atolls and volcanic islands, with small human populations.
An managed breeding programme to conserve a rich genus of tree snail in French Polynesia is an ongoing collaborative project between zoos worldwide, and has been co-ordinated by ZSL sine 1994.
