UNIQUE WILDLIFE ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION
The Chinese giant salamander if the world's largest amphibian, growing up to 1.8m in length, and is threatened with extinction.
Overhunting for human consumption and habitat loss has had a catastrophic effect on these aquatic giants.
We're working with local people and government to help protect Chinese giant salamanders in the wild, whilst also caring for two giant salamanders at London Zoo, that were saved from illegal trafficking by the UK Border Force. Our work has provided a new understanding of this ancient animal, helping to inform important plans for its protection.
Will you join us in protecting Critically Endangered Chinese giant salamanders, and other unique but often overlooked species, before it's too late? By giving a one-off or regular donation to our conservation work, you can help us take practical action to protect giant salamanders, as well as supporting countless other threatened species around the world. Please donate to support wildlife today.
