Explanation

The Sabin Award, specifically the Sabin Amphibian Conservation Prize, was established in 2007 to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the conservation of amphibians. Funded by the Andrew Sabin Family Foundation, the award is presented in partnership with organizations like the Amphibian Survival Alliance and Global Wildlife Conservation. A notable recipient is the Indian scientist S.D. Biju, who received the award in 2008 for his extensive research and conservation efforts regarding frogs in India. While the foundation has expanded to include prizes for turtles and primates, the primary 'Sabin Award' referenced in general knowledge and competitive examinations specifically identifies amphibian conservation as its core focus. The award aims to support those dedicated to protecting species at high risk of extinction.
