More Information
The Amphibian Conservation Education Project aims to empower educators, students, and individuals to become involved in amphibian conservation efforts.
Through this project, participants will become field scientists by analyzing water quality and testing amphibians for the disease, Chytrid Fungus. Collected data is then used by local herpetologists (scientists who study reptiles and amphibians) to gain a better understanding of the species of amphibians being affected by the disease and where Chytrid is being spread.
