Episode 205. Conservation Crisis - The Future of the Amphibian Foundation with Mark Mandica


Listen Later

Amphibian conservation, education, and appreciation, are the three ingredients that bind the amphibian community together. And, for almost a decade now, The Amphibian Foundation has dedicated its time and resources to provide both a brick and mortar facility, as well as an online presence,  that allows the amphibian community to learn, share, and grow.... And now is the time for the community to give something back.

The AF's current facility is set to be demolished within a year. And as such, AF staff have been scrambling to find a new location, and navigate the logistics of a complicated, and costly move. This week I am joined by Mark Mandica, and we have a frank discussion about the future of the Amphibian Foundation, the new location, the challenges that go with moving over a thousand animals (many of which are endangered), the help that’s needed from the community, and some positive takeaways about what the upcoming year will bring.
