Following a short hiatus it is a pleasure to be able to share FrogLog with you all again – download Issue 125 here.

FrogLog is now an ASG-only product, and has had a design update in line with this change; however, the focus has not changed, and we remain committed to bringing you stories about the conservation of caecilians, salamanders and frogs from all parts of the world. From now on, we aim to publish FrogLog twice a year, but all the articles will be posted in an early-view format on our website (www.iucn-amphibians.org), once accepted. The new guidelines are also online, and you are welcome to visit and submit if you are interested! We are happy to disseminate all types of conservation and research news about amphibians, including those that might not be “original enough” for the scientific literature, as well as negative results, as they are still important sources of information to support evidence-based conservation actions.

This first issue of the “new” FrogLog reviews all the recent developments related to the work of the ASG, including the publication of the third update of the global Amphibian Conservation Action Plan, and the State of the World’s Amphibians report. We also introduce the speakers and topics of our new Webinar Series. We also have four contributed articles which report on the development of two strategic conservation plans for Brazilian frog species, the issue of caecilian roadkills in India and related policy recommendations to address the threat, the successful reintroduction of treefrogs in Luxembourg, and the impact of climate change and the resulting 2023 drought events on treefrog breeding activities in China.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has participated in the life and growth of the publication over the years, especially for the transition from a newsletter to the amazingly colourful and glossy document it has become. We thank the Amphibian Survival Alliance team for their work and dedication over the last decade, and especially we thank Candace M Hansen who has been key to the production of FrogLog for even longer and, without whom FrogLog would simply not exist. We also thank all the past Editorial Board members for their dedication to the publication.
