Community conservation
Education and workshops that help local people understand the value of wildlife and participate in its protection.
Conservation
Protecting wildlife begins with protecting its home
Our conservation focus
Two paths, one shared purpose
Every initiative should help create conditions in which species, habitats and communities can thrive together.
Reintroduction
Supporting the return of individuals to their natural environment when conditions and specialist guidance allow.
A remarkable Andean species
The Titicaca Giant Frog
The Titicaca Giant Frog, Telmatobius culeus, is native to Lake Titicaca, located more than 3,800 meters above sea level on the border between Peru and Bolivia.
The species faces severe pressure from water contamination and capture for human consumption. OceanikZOOgroup is proud to support efforts that combine protection, reintroduction and community education.

Why protection matters
The species is facing interconnected threats
Protecting a species requires understanding the environmental and human pressures that affect its survival.
Water contamination
Pollution in the lake affects the quality of the frog’s habitat and creates one of the project’s most serious conservation challenges.
Human capture
Individuals are still captured as a source of food, adding pressure to an already vulnerable population.
Loss of awareness
When communities lack accessible information, protecting wildlife becomes harder. Education is therefore a central part of the response.
In the field
Conservation becomes meaningful through real participation.
Reintroduction and local education help turn conservation principles into visible action.
From concern to action
How the conservation program creates impact
Protect
Raise attention around the species, its habitat and the urgent pressures affecting its survival.
Reintroduce
Support the return of selected individuals to their natural environment through specialist-led processes.
Educate
Develop workshops that help local communities understand how and why the Titicaca Giant Frog should be protected.
