Reptiles and amphibians top the list of Europe’s most endangered species and amphibians are recognised as the planet’s most threatened group of animals, with one in three of the globally 6 000 known amphibian species considered at risk of extinction. Efforts to improve the fate of these species were discussed during August at an Amphibian Mini Summit in London. The event brought togther amphibian specialists from around the world and established a new Amphibian Survival Alliance with objectives to protect Red List species from natural hazards and habitat destruction. LIFE projects have been active in these fields and LIFE experiences provide valuable good practice for the red listed species.

A European Commission conference on biodiversity in Athens has issued a forward-looking message regarding the future biodiversity policy of the European Union.
