Dr. Jodi Rowley is a biologist with a focus on amphibian diversity, ecology and conservation.

\n

\n

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.

\n

\n

I found this conversation to be absolutely fascinating. We talk about:

\n

\n

- trekking into remote Cambodian rainforests during monsoon season 

\n

- getting attacked by leeches in the jungle

\n

- benefits amphibians bring to humans and ecosystems

\n

- why they are being lost at an unprecedented rate

\n

- and how we may be able to help

\n
