ISSN: 1083-446X - eISSN: 1525-9153
Published as an open access Epublication by the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Community

This website and its affiliates are the legitimate, genuine, and original Internet website portals for the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation journal and our global conservation network.  As legal owners of Amphibian and Conservation journal, we own all copyright, exclusive of authors copyright, of any production by any proxy fraudulently presenting as Amphibian and Reptile Conservation including the fraudulent highjacker journal www.amphibian-reptile-conservation.org as published by the "Amphibian and Reptile Conservation organisation" an illicit and undefined group led by Craig Hassipakis.

We take Internet fraud regarding our journal very seriously. Because of the ongoing malicious attacks by Craig Hassipakis on our journal and workers in his "court of public opinion", and his threat to amphibian and reptile conservation, scientific publication ethics, and the global herpetological community we have after hesitation for over 2 years of abuse decided to firmly confront Craig Hassapakis and his supporters and in stages to release full documentation. 

Craig Hassipakis has no academic background and a long and dismal history of fraudulent activities. In respect to Craig Hassipakis we document Internet Fraud  in particular as defamation and slander, and judicial perjury In addition, as attacks on our global conservation network, Craig Hassipakis has misrepresented himself as a representative of Internationally respected amphibian conservation organisations, misled notable academics, and subverted International conservation initiatives. We have as a reponsibility to the public, provided email strings that prove our claims of our ARC journal as original and genuine publishers, as a community organisation based on those that created the Internet based ARC, and detailing Craig Hassipakis's fraud and defamation. 

ESTABLISHED as an OPEN ACCESS ePUBLICATION in 2011  - GLOBALISED IN 2013: Amphibian and Reptile Conservation journal was established as a e-Publication in 2011 and is a unique and innovative democratic global conservation organisation, independent of any national or institutional agendas, that provides for the sustainable management of amphibian and reptile biodiversity.

WORKING TOGETHER

We provide are an organisation that extends beyond publications to direct support of individuals and organisations globally in their conservation efforts. We foster a global conservation community based on independence, transparency, and accountability.

  OUR LEADERSHIP 

Our International Chairperson and Coordinator, Dr. Robert Browne is devoted to herpetological conservation, an expert in a wide range of scientific fields, and has an exceptional track record of the successful management of projects for some of the most iconic threatened amphibians.

 
AUTHORSHIP: see For authors. No authors fees apply. For article submission [email protected] 

AUTHOR FRIENDLY PUBLICATION POLICY

We are globally unique in enabling Creative Contribution by our authors  We greatly respect our authors different publication requirements and cultural backgrounds and have formulated a flexible publication policy based on feedback from around the globe.

We have found that many authors feel frustrated when they recieve their final publication molded to conform to strict publication guidelines, many with a national or traditional basis, and without sympathy for artistic contribution or image presentation. Amphibian and Reptile Conservation as an ePublication is sympathetic to authors equirements for article length, and provides impressive graphical scope including half or full page figures and images.

OUR STRUCTURE:  We build regional capacity through our Regional Chapters, foster the empowerment and training of young conservationists through direct involvement in publication and journal management, and support conservation initiatives. We use strategies and protocols that are powerful, effective and resilient and are not aligned with any nation, regional or institutional interest.

Our Regional Chapters provide ongoing Volumes of the ARC, and develop social networking and support structures for both their regional supporters and those in the international community.  Our Thematic Chapters provide Volumes of the ARC and global leadership through research directions, protocols, and essays from individuals with a solid track record of practical experience and significant contributions to conservation.  We encourage individuals with the motivation to become leaders in their field by forming a Regional or Thematic Chapter of Amphibian and Reptile Conservation.  

 SOCIAL NETWORKING 
 
Our websites, newsletters, articles and Social Networking Sites provide news of events, reports, and publications, that support the sustainable management of amphibians and reptiles.
