Amphibians

The Tennessee Amphibian Monitoring Program (TAMP) is a volunteer-based, multi-agency effort to assess the current status of amphibians (frogs, toads, and salamanders) across our state, with the goal of learning where they live and how they are doing.  In recent years, biologists in many parts of the world have documented declining populations of amphibians, especially anurans (frogs & toads).

The TAMP is sponsored by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) and the Center for Environmental Education at Middle Tennessee State University.  Participation in the Tennessee Amphibian Monitoring Program is voluntary and is open to all interested persons, old and young alike.
