Compared to the last overview as of 1 November 2025, the number of participants has risen by exactly 40 volunteer species conservationists \u2013 an increase of 16% \u2013 from 257. They now look after a further 68 animal husbandries \u2013 an increase of 15%. The number of animals under their care has also risen by 360, or 7%.
\nThere were no significant changes in the distribution of keeper types: as before, two-thirds of participants are private keepers. Almost exactly half of the institutional keepers are zoos (15%), schools account for 11%, and the remaining 7% are spread across facilities such as public aquariums, associations, natural history museums, shops \u2013 and a public library. A fine cross-section of civil society, entirely in line with the Citizen Conservation approach.
\nAs institutions often keep several species, the distribution of keepers shifts. They are 53% private individuals, 25% zoos, 12% schools and 10% other institutions. On average, each participant therefore looks after 1.7 CC animal species, and almost 200 private individuals volunteer by providing accommodation, care and breeding for an average of 1.3 endangered animal species each. This equates to 266 husbandries. A zoo with an aquarium and terrarium house keeping 50 species is already one of the largest facilities of its kind. This means that private terrarium and aquarium keepers are, so to speak, contributing the care capacity of five large aquarium houses to the ex-situ species conservation community on a voluntary and self-funded basis![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”100″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ style=”inherited” uncode_shortcode_id=”178618″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”154001″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-121″ type=”carousel” medias=”144285,144293,144289,144287″ carousel_lg=”1″ carousel_md=”1″ carousel_sm=”1″ thumb_size=”sixteen-nine” gutter_size=”0″ media_items=”media|nolink|original,description,caption” carousel_type=”fade” carousel_interval=”0″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ carousel_loop=”yes” carousel_nav=”yes” carousel_dots=”yes” carousel_dots_mobile=”yes” carousel_dots_inside=”yes” carousel_dot_padding=”4″ stage_padding=”0″ single_text=”under” single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_overlay_anim=”no” single_text_anim=”no” single_image_anim=”no” single_reduced=”three_quarter” single_padding=”2″ single_text_reduced=”yes” single_title_semantic=”h4″ single_title_weight=”500″ single_icon=”fa fa-search3″ single_border=”yes” lbox_caption=”yes” no_double_tap=”yes” carousel_rtl=”” single_title_uppercase=”” single_title_bold=”” single_title_serif=”” onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” items=”eyI4ODY4X2kiOnsic2luZ2xlX3dpZHRoIjoiNCIsInNpbmdsZV9oZWlnaHQiOiI0In0sIjg4NjJfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiI0Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjQifSwiODg2MF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIxOF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyNF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyMl9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyOV9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9fQ==” single_half_padding=”” single_no_background=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”768687″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”133911″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”883863″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”200758″]Programmes running at full capacity[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”165289″ el_class=”text-larger”]The Mallorca midwife toad has proved to be the star among the CC\u2019s main protagonists. For this species, which is critically endangered on its home island, we have not only achieved our target numbers but have also entered the phase of long-term management. This is because the real challenge of conservation breeding lies in maintaining the ex-situ population in a demographically stable and viable state over decades. That is why we have drawn up a studbook and are managing the CC population in a targeted manner through sales, temporary breeding pauses and the culling of clutches. At the same time, we must ensure that breeding takes place regularly in as many facilities as possible \u2013 a thoroughly demanding coordination effort with a welcome message: it works!
\nThe programmes for the Vietnamese crocodile newt, the Madagascar spiny-tailed fish, the tiger barb and the Mangarahara cichlid have also moved from the establishment phase into the long-term management phase. In the case of the P\u00e1tzcuaro spiny-toothed newt, only a few facilities remain before the target numbers are reached; breeding itself is now systematic and must also be controlled due to the high number of offspring.
\nThe most spectacular case, however, is the Rio Pescado stump-footed toad. This species, which is threatened with extinction and was even believed to be extinct at one point, was only added to the CC three years ago following the import of the foundation animals from Ecuador. Thanks to the great breeding successes of private keeper Thomas Ackermann and the zoos in Basel and Karlsruhe, it has reproduced so well that we have now exceeded our target numbers. It is now being cared for in 26 facilities, including 12 zoos. However, the numerous new keepers now face the by no means trivial task of successfully breeding the animals \u2013 and rearing them, which is a real challenge given the extremely tiny offspring.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”100″ gutter_size=”100″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ content_parallax=”0″ style=”inherited” uncode_shortcode_id=”178618″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”1″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ zoom_width=”0″ zoom_height=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”154001″][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-12″ type=”carousel” medias=”144261,144255,144257,144265″ carousel_lg=”1″ carousel_md=”1″ carousel_sm=”1″ thumb_size=”sixteen-nine” gutter_size=”0″ media_items=”media|nolink|original,description,caption” carousel_type=”fade” carousel_interval=”0″ carousel_navspeed=”400″ carousel_loop=”yes” carousel_nav=”yes” carousel_dots=”yes” carousel_dots_mobile=”yes” carousel_dots_inside=”yes” carousel_dot_padding=”4″ stage_padding=”0″ single_text=”under” single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_overlay_anim=”no” single_text_anim=”no” single_image_anim=”no” single_reduced=”three_quarter” single_padding=”2″ single_text_reduced=”yes” single_title_semantic=”h4″ single_title_weight=”500″ single_icon=”fa fa-search3″ single_border=”yes” lbox_caption=”yes” no_double_tap=”yes” carousel_rtl=”” single_title_uppercase=”” single_title_bold=”” single_title_serif=”” onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” items=”eyI4ODY4X2kiOnsic2luZ2xlX3dpZHRoIjoiNCIsInNpbmdsZV9oZWlnaHQiOiI0In0sIjg4NjJfaSI6eyJzaW5nbGVfd2lkdGgiOiI0Iiwic2luZ2xlX2hlaWdodCI6IjQifSwiODg2MF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIxOF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyNF9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyMl9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9LCIyNjIyOV9pIjp7InNpbmdsZV93aWR0aCI6IjQiLCJzaW5nbGVfaGVpZ2h0IjoiNCJ9fQ==” single_half_padding=”” single_no_background=”” uncode_shortcode_id=”914253″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”860681″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”883863″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”284091″]First breakthroughs[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”499178″ el_class=”text-larger”]In some programmes, breeding successes have now been achieved following what were in some cases difficult initial phases. Things are now looking very encouraging for the poison dart frogs. The Golden Poison Frogs, which are actually considered quite easy to breed, proved somewhat difficult at the start, but the number of offspring is now rising noticeably. There have also been considerable successes with the Phantasmal Poison Frog and the Demonic Poison Frog, which are considered very demanding. The first CC breeding successes have also been achieved in the last six months with Ziegler\u2019s Crocodile Newt and the San Francisco Garter Snake. We now hope that the last holdouts \u2013 namely the Loja Marsupial Frog, Smith\u2019s Torrent Frog and the Nguru Pygmy Chameleon \u2013 can soon be successfully bred.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”2″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”860681″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”883863″][vc_custom_heading text_size=”h3″ uncode_shortcode_id=”456641″]New challenges[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”430700″ el_class=”text-larger”]Following a prolonged period of consolidation, the number of managed species has also risen noticeably over the last six months. It is particularly pleasing that the newly introduced Roberts\u2019 Cichlid from West Africa has immediately made its mark with the first genuine CC offspring \u2013 that\u2019s how it should be! The Orange-eyed Tree Frog, which only arrived in March and of which we now looking after for 166 individuals across 14 husbandries, has made a spectacular debut in terms of both numbers and keepers. That\u2019s quite a statement!
