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.
