Darwin's frogs Rhinoderma darwinii and Rhinoderma rufum are the only known species of amphibians in which males brood their offspring in their vocal sacs. We propose these frogs as flagship species for the conservation of the Austral temperate forests of Chile and Argentina. This recommendation forms part of the vision of the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin's Frogs, which was launched in 2018. The strategy is a conservation initiative led by the IUCN SSC Amphibian Specialist Group, which in 2017 convened 30 governmental, non-profit and private organizations from Chile, Argentina and elsewhere. Darwin's frogs are iconic examples of the global amphibian conservation crisis: R. rufum is categorized as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) on the IUCN Red List, and R. darwinii as Endangered. Here we articulate the conservation planning process that led to the development of the conservation strategy for these species and present its main findings and recommendations. Using an evidence-based approach, the Binational Conservation Strategy for Darwin's Frogs contains a comprehensive status review of Rhinoderma spp., including critical threat analyses, and proposes 39 prioritized conservation actions. Its goal is that by 2028, key information gaps on Rhinoderma spp. will be filled, the main threats to these species will be reduced, and financial, legal and societal support will have been achieved. The strategy is a multi-disciplinary, transnational endeavour aimed at ensuring the long-term viability of these unique frogs and their particular habitat.

南温带森林保护的旗舰：达尔文青蛙行动计划将主要利益相关者聚集在一起

达尔文的青蛙达尔文犀和红犀牛是唯一已知的两栖动物物种，其中雄性在它们的声囊中培育它们的后代。我们建议将这些青蛙作为保护智利和阿根廷南部温带森林的旗舰物种。该建议是 2018 年启动的达尔文蛙双边保护战略愿景的一部分。该战略是由 IUCN SSC 两栖动物专家组领导的一项保护倡议，该小组于 2017 年召集了 30 个政府、非营利和私人组织来自智利、阿根廷和其他地方。达尔文的青蛙是全球两栖动物保护危机的标志性例子：R. rufum在 IUCN 红色名录中被归类为极度濒危（可能已灭绝），并且R. darwinii作为濒危。在这里，我们阐述了导致这些物种保护战略发展的保护规划过程，并介绍了其主要发现和建议。使用基于证据的方法，达尔文蛙的双边保护战略包含全面的现状审查犀牛科spp.，包括关键威胁分析，并提出 39 项优先保护行动。其目标是到 2028 年，关键信息缺口犀牛科spp. 将被填补，对这些物种的主要威胁将减少，并获得财政、法律和社会支持。该战略是一项多学科、跨国的努力，旨在确保这些独特的青蛙及其特定栖息地的长期生存能力。
