This week I am joined by Crystal Mandica of the Amphibian Foundation. Crystal is co-founder, Director of Education, and Collections Manager of almost 600 amphibians at the Amphibian Foundation. In this weeks episode, we discuss what it takes to manage such a large operation day to day. We also talk about the value of education and community outreach, running a critter camp for young people interested in reptiles and amphibians, and how the AF grew from a small conservation project in Crystal and Mark Mandica's basement into the well known amphibian not for profit that it is today!
In addition to their amphibian conservation work, the Amphibian Foundation also offers a variety of in-person and online courses for anyone interested in herpetology. To find out more about Crystal's work, to volunteer, donate, or to enroll in critter camp visit: https://amphibianfoundation.org/
