Who we areTree Walkers International is a consortium of individuals from all walks of life who share a common concern for amphibian conservation and aim to undertake tangible amphibian conservation projects, who seek to foster a community, and who shall further the study of amphibians both in the wild and in captivity. Drawing on the individual strengths of our members, we aim to unify and facilitate amphibian conservation, husbandry, and study by working across borders with a special emphasis on inclusion of conservationists and scientists from throughout the world. A project-driven networked approachAt the heart of the TWI strategy are our projects. Through mission-driven, goal-directed projects, we aim to execute conservation that is effective, inclusive, and quantitative. We work to ensure the active participation of individuals from all walks of life be it the private sector, academia, or zoological institutions. Each of our projects is lead by a passionate project leader who manages the project in a direct, democratic fashion. By using collaborative technologies such as wikis, forums, and online chat rooms, our project leaders build a community around their project. You can read about our projects here. A hands-on approachIntegral to our projects is a hands-on approach from the captive breeding of animals in your home through the Amphibian Steward Network to building amphibian-friendly ponds with Operation Frog Pond. Our organization focuses on people from all walks of life being able to participate. This is tangible, scientifically-rigorous conservation in your own home and neighborhood! Find out more
