  • Partnership in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) -- Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) is an all-inclusive partnership established in 1999 and dedicated to the conservation of herpetofauna and their habitats. PARC's mission is to conserve amphibians, reptiles and their habitats as integral parts of our ecosystem and culture through proactive and coordinated public/private partnerships. Working at local, regional, national, and international levels, PARC synthesizes and disseminates information, and works to resolve herpetofaunal conservation issues using working groups and through the development and targeted application of conservation measures and tools. These include regional habitat management guidelines, educational pamphlets, an inventory and monitoring handbook, conservation training modules, and the sponsoring of symposia and workshops that bring scientists, managers, and concerned citizens together to address the many challenges facing amphibians and reptiles today, locally and around the globe.
