"Show me just one single instance of non-scientist hobbyists successfully reintroducing an endangered or threatened species back into the wild to save them from extinction, and I'll save the baby."

Whether it's been done doesn't matter when it hasn't even been attempted. Hobbyists have been successful in all other areas pertaining to the science of herps. Hobbyists have achieved notable, often exceptional success in everything from captive maintainance and breeding, natural history studies, taxonomic studies and have been allowed to assist on many levels in other conservation projects. There is no reason whatsoever to think hobbyists could not be an assest to a successful reintroduction program. The simple fact is we are not allowed to be involved.
