DESCRIPTION:More than one third of amphibian species are threatened with e
 xtinction. Ex situ captive breeding programmes have been set up for a numb
 er of amphibian species with mixed success and considerable financial inve
 stment. It is time that we step back and evaluate the roles of the modern 
 zoo in such programmes and decide whether or not ex situ conservation bree
 ding programmes are really worth the risk and investment.
