AmphibiaWeb is an American non-profit website that provides information about amphibians. It is run by a group of universities working with the California Academy of Sciences: San Francisco State University, the University of California at Berkeley, University of Florida at Gainesville, and University of Texas at Austin.
AmphibiaWeb's goal is to provide a single page for every species of amphibian in the world so research scientists, citizen scientists and conservationists can collaborate.[1] It added its 7000th animal in 2012, a glass frog from Peru.[2][3] As of 2022, it hosted more than 8,400 species located worldwide.[4][5]
