That said, I don't mind hunting whether publicly or privately allowed so that doesn't really sway my opinion. I've looked through their publications and found some interesting things and intended to donate to them in this quarter in fact. I am disappointed that you didn't have a better experience with them. They do good work with maintaining captive populations of amphibians, promoting creation of habitat for natives, and coordinate with other organizations to protect habitat. I'd also suggest Treewalkers International () which is an amphibian conservation organization that deals with conserving wild populations through captive breeding. They've discovered a number of new species, and are doing some great work in areas that need attention. I've worked with them, and they have a number of study sites (mainly Ecuador and Mexico, but they're expanding to Vietnam) where they go to disturbed areas to survey for herps to make conservation recommendations. So I won't ever recommend them.īut, I would also add The Biodiversity Group () to the list. Despite my having a master's degree in conservation (specifically worked with amphibians), he scorned me for my suggestions on amphibian conservation, not because my recommendations were unreasonable, but because I did not give money to STF. I've had a number of interactions with the executive director which have led me to see that he only is interested in conservation as he sees it. I personally wouldn't have Save The Frogs on the list.
