There are a number of societies throughout the world that deal with caudates, either exclusively or in part. Many of these are general Herpetological Societies whose members are predominantly reptile enthusiasts. However, there are some societies that are dedicated to newts and salamanders. The list of societies below is separated by country or language (please note that some societies have a muli-national emphasis, but they are in a section according to their membership postal address). Contact information usually consists of a postal address, a phone number, and in some cases an email address or even a web site. This list is just a small sample of the societies out there, so if you have any additional contact information about the societies below, or contact information for a society not listed, please make contact.
