Popis: We have studied the ecology and biology of the highly endangered ancient amphibian Bombina bombina (Linneus 1761) — not least in order to encourage scientists, lay people and politi- cians to support this toad in its fight for survival. Hence our report does not strictly adhere to the for- mat of a publication intended solely for scientists. We present here information on breeding, rearing and raising; on the toad's ecological requirements; on problems of laboratory maintenance, and on possibilities of rebuilding extinct wild populations.
