Episode 138: Saving Amphibians w/Ian Recchio Los Angeles Zoo

This week we are very fortunate to have an interview with Ian Recchio, Curator of Amphibians and Reptiles from the Los Angeles Zoo. We discuss the plight of many of the planet's amphibians, specifically the Southern Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog. This species is one of the most endangered amphibians in California and Ian is helping to lead the efforts to restore this animal to its native habitat. The story about Ian and his efforts can be read HERE. This is an incredible conservation story that is still ongoing today. What we are learning from these efforts, among others that we discuss with Ian, are helping multiple species around the world. Show notes HERE Learn more about your ad choices.
