LIST OF CRITICALLY ENDANGERED AND ENDANGEREDSPECIES FOR WHICH CAPTIVE BREEDING IS AN IMMEDIATELYNECESSARY EX-SITU CONSERVATION ACTION(prepared by Don Church, Kevin Zippel and Michael Hoffmann)Note: the following list, while clearly identifying the highest priorities for ex-situ conservation action, needs to beused while bearing in mind a few important caveats. In particular, this list does not include species that:– have been or are being impacted by chytrid and may warrant listing as EW/CR/EN (and likely will be during thenext update to the GAA), but are currently classifi ed in a lower category of threat;– are in areas where chytrid is defi nitely found and likely to have been impacted, except that this has not beendocumented in their populations because no one has looked (e.g., Dendrobates speciosus);– are in areas where chytrid has not arrived yet, but that have relatives elsewhere that have succumbed, suggestingthey too could be impacted by chytrid if it arrives (any montane-tropical or temperate bufonids, dendrobatids,many leptodactylids, and so forth);– are currently classifi ed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct); see Appendix IX.– are being impacted by threats that can, potentially, be mitigated by targeted in-situ actions, such as habitat lossand exploitation.Consequently, this list of 247 species is by no means final or perfect, but it does represent instances of knownspecies that will immediately benefi t from ex-situ measures, due to the effects specifically of chytrid.Order Family Scientific Name Has Been BredAnura Bufonidae Atelophryniscus chrysophorusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus andinusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus angelitoAnura Bufonidae Atelopus arsyecueAnura Bufonidae Atelopus bomolochosAnura Bufonidae Atelopus boulengeriAnura Bufonidae Atelopus carautaAnura Bufonidae Atelopus carrikeriAnura Bufonidae Atelopus certusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus chiriquiensisAnura Bufonidae Atelopus chocoensisAnura Bufonidae Atelopus crucigerAnura Bufonidae Atelopus dimorphusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus ebenoidesAnura Bufonidae Atelopus elegansAnura Bufonidae Atelopus erythropusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus eusebianusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus exiguusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus farciAnura Bufonidae Atelopus galactogasterAnura Bufonidae Atelopus glyphusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus guitarraensisAnura Bufonidae Atelopus laetissimusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus limosusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus longibrachiusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus mandinguesAnura Bufonidae Atelopus minutulusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus monohernandeziAnura Bufonidae Atelopus mucubajiensisAnura Bufonidae Atelopus nahumaeAnura Bufonidae Atelopus nepiozomusAnura Bufonidae Atelopus nicefori
