The Amphibian Conservation Action Plan (ACAP), published in 2007, is a formal document of international significance that proposed eleven relevant actions for global amphibian conservation. Action seven of the ACAP document addresses the use of amphibian captive programs as a conservation tool. Appendix material under this action explores the potential use of Genome Resource Banking (biobanking) as an urgently needed tool for these captive programs. ACAP proposed twelve objectives for Genome Resource Banking which exhibit little emphasis on reproduction as a vital underlying science for amphibian Captive Breeding Programs (CBP's). Here we have reassessed the original twelve ACAP objectives for amphibian reproduction and biobanking for CBP's as a contribution to future ACAP review processes. We have reviewed recent advances since the original objectives, as well as highlighted weaknesses and strengths for each of these objectives. We make various scientific, policy and economic recommendations based on the current reality and recent advances in relevant science in order to inform future ACAP towards new global objectives. The number of amphibian CBP'S has escalated in recent years and reproductive success is not always easily accomplished. Increases in applied and fundamental research on the natural history and reproductive biology of these species, followed by the appropriate development and application of artificial reproductive technologies (ART's) and the incorporation of genome resource banks (GRB's), may turn CBP's into a more powerful tool for amphibian conservation.
《两栖动物保护行动计划》（ACAP）于 2007 年发布，是一份具有国际重要意义的正式文件，提出了全球两栖动物保护的十一项相关行动。ACAP 文件的行动七涉及将两栖动物圈养计划用作保护工具。该行动下的附录材料探讨了将基因组资源库（生物库）用作这些圈养计划急需工具的潜力。ACAP 为基因组资源库提出了十二个目标，这些目标几乎没有强调繁殖作为两栖动物圈养繁殖计划（CBP）的重要基础科学。在这里，我们重新评估了原始的十二个与 CBP 相关的 ACAP 繁殖和生物库目标，作为对未来 ACAP 审查过程的贡献。我们回顾了自原始目标以来的最新进展，以及这些目标中的每一个的优缺点。我们根据当前的现实和相关科学的最新进展提出了各种科学、政策和经济建议，以便为未来的 ACAP 提供新的全球目标。近年来，两栖动物 CBP 的数量不断增加，繁殖成功率并不总是轻易实现。这些物种的自然历史和繁殖生物学的应用和基础研究的增加，随后是人工繁殖技术（ART）的适当开发和应用，以及基因组资源库（GRB）的纳入，可能会使 CBP 成为更加强大的两栖动物保护工具。
