Not Just Newts: Behind the Scenes with the Amphibian Foundation

Presented by The Amphibian Foundation

Decatur is home to a unique nonprofit dedicated to the conservation and research of amphibians amidst a global population decline. In 2016, the Amphibian Foundation formed to focus on conserving some of Georgia’s most imperiled species (Flatwoods Salamander, Gopher Frog, and Striped Newt). Since then AF has begun working on other native and globally endangered amphibians. Closed to the public, this is a chance to see the collections and meet Foundation staff working hard to save these vital and sensitive animals from extinction.
