>>Beginning

Scientist `F33f`_`[David Wake`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=David_Wake]`_`f founded AmphibiaWeb in 2000. Wake had been inspired by the decline of amphibian populations across the world.`:cite-ref-nytwake-6-0[`F5bf`_`[6`#cite-note-nytwake-6]`_`f]`:cite-ref-sci-7-0[`F5bf`_`[7`#cite-note-sci-7]`_`f] He founded it at the Digital Library Project at the University of California at Berkeley in 2000. Wake came to consider AmphibiaWeb part of his legacy.`:cite-ref-berk-3-1[`F5bf`_`[3`#cite-note-berk-3]`_`f]`:cite-ref-mvz-8-0[`F5bf`_`[8`#cite-note-mvz-8]`_`f]
