Annual Reports

Each year PARC publishes an annual report to highlight its progress and accomplishments. You can download and read PARC's annual reports here.


Strategic Plan

The mission of Partners in Amphibian and Reptile Conservation (PARC) is to forge proactive partnerships to conserve amphibians, reptiles and the places they live. Our ultimate vision is of a society where amphibians and reptiles are valued for their importance in our natural and cultural heritage and are considered in all conservation and land management decisions.


Inventory and Monitoring

The PARC Inventory and Monitoring: Recommended Techniques for Reptiles and Amphibians book provides an excellent resource for biologists, land managers, consultants, and particularly those who are non-herpetologists, to understand the animals in their geographic area of interest.


Conservation Action Plans

In our continuing effort to prevent the decline of herpetofaunal species, PARC has begun to develop Conservation Action Plans (CAPs) for at-risk species.


Timber Rattlesnake Conservation Action Plan

PARC is pleased to announce that The Timber Rattlesnake: Life History, Distribution, Status, and Conservation Action Plan is now available for purchase. This plan was developed by a team of more than seventy-five concerned rattlesnake biologists from federal and state agencies, universities, and private institutions, as well as environmental consultants and private citizens.


Habitat Management Guidelines

Habitat alteration, fragmentation and loss are collectively considered to be the primary challenge in the conservation of amphibians and reptiles (i.e., herpetofauna). With herpetofaunal populations declining, and human populations expanding and using more land, PARC has developed a series of regionally specific best management practices, or Habitat Management Guidelines (HMGs) to provide proactive guidance for improving the compatibility of land management practices with these animals.


Demographic and Atmospheric Survey

In 2018, the PARC Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Team (DEITT) implemented a survey with the overall goal of assessing the demographics of our membership and members' current perceptions regarding PARC's efforts to support and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion at annual meetings.
