Dr. Jodi Rowley is a biologist with a focus on amphibian diversity, ecology and conservation.
Jodi and her team have discovered a multitude of amphibian species never before known to science and have gone to the most extreme lengths to find them.
I found this conversation to be absolutely fascinating. We talk about:
- trekking into remote Cambodian rainforests during monsoon season
- getting attacked by leeches in the jungle
- benefits amphibians bring to humans and ecosystems
- why they are being lost at an unprecedented rate
- and how we may be able to help
Please check out and support Jodi’s work:
