Dr. Robin Moore is Amphibian Conservation Officer for Conservation International and the Amphibian Specialist Group of the World Conservation Union. He is working to implement an ambitious global Amphibian Conservation Action Plan through strengthening the global network of amphibian experts and increasing collaboration among stakeholder to build capacity for amphibian conservation worldwide.

Prior to assuming his position at Conservation International Robin worked on a broad range of conservation and research projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe; his first foray into herpetological research was a two month expedition to the rainforests of Cameroon when he was 20 years old. He received his PhD from the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology in the UK; his research focused on the impact of an introduced snake on the endemic midwife toad of Mallorca, Spain (Alytes muletensis). In a rare conservation success story, the toad was recently downlisted from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable as a result of a recovery program combining captive breeding and reintroduction with research into the ecology and genetics of the species.
