Would you like to spend time outdoors, learn more about amphibians, help us protect them and win a prize? Then why not participate in the AmphiBiom: Citizen Science Award 2025.
Amphibians are among the most endangered animal groups in Austria and worldwide. One example of this is the endangered green toad, a distinctly pioneer species. In Austria, its main distribution area is in eastern Austria.
The declared aim of the Pond initiative is to create a large number of spawning waters for the Green toad - and other pioneer species of small bodies of water. In addition to our target species, Yellow and Fire-bellied toads, Common toads and even Natterjack toads (threatened with extinction in Austria) could also use such waters, depending on the environment and altitude.
