“DISAPPEARING FROGS... CANARIES IN OUR GLOBAL COAL MINE?”
by AV member George Gorman,
A former Professor of Biology at UCLA with a specialty in herpetology, AV member George Gorman will present a summary of what we know and don't know about striking examples of world-wide amphibian declines and apparent disappearances.
Although George left academia more than 40 years ago for a 2nd career in law and financial planning he keeps coming back to biology and conservation. In 1990-1991 the Gorman family lived in Costa Rica where George coordinated a conservation program for Stanford University/Conservation International. There he learned about several examples of amphibian declines.
The causes of these declines and their impact on world ecosystems are still controversial. George will introduce us to this fascinating field.
