ARG UK promotes the conservation of our native amphibian and reptiles and their environment by promoting and supporting the development of a network of independent Amphibian and Reptile Groups (ARGs). We do this by:

• Providing public liability insurance for ARGs.
• Providing free websites for new groups in the UK
• Supporting and helping to organise regional conferences and the annual national conference(the Herpetofauna Workers' Meeting).
• Publishing advice noteson topics related to the conservation of amphibians and reptiles.
• Managing the ARG UK 100% Fund, which provides up to £250 for ARGs to carry out practical projects for the benefit of amphibian and reptile conservation.
• Provide online recording through the Record Pool to help capture herpetofauna data from across the UK
