Talking about frog conservation
The EWT is one of South Africa’s most reputable conservation non-profit organisations.
Many South African frog species are being threatened or have become extinct, according to the Crocworld Conservation Centre.
The centre was speaking ahead of its discussion of 10 years of frog conservation.
The discussion will be led by a specialist on amphibians from the Endangered Wildlife Trust and it will be at the Crocworld Conservation Centre on Saturday, September 24.
The centre’s reptile curator, Wade Kilian said the second instalment of monthly conservation talks is set to be an impactful one as they welcome Dr Jeanne Tarrant, manager of the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s (EWT) Threatened Amphibian Programme.
“She will be joining us to give invaluable insight into the plight of our country’s amphibian residents and their conservation over the past decade,” said Kilian.
Founded in 1973, added Wade, the EWT is one of South Africa’s most reputable conservation non-profit organisations.
Kilian said the EWT is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern and East Africa for the benefit of all people.
“This is achieved by implementing target-driven research and conservation action programmes, implementing projects that address threats facing species, and supporting sustainable natural resource management. The talk will also be accompanied by a delicious breakfast served by the team at The Fish Eagle Café based at the Crocworld Conservation Centre,” said Kilian.
