Cancelled FGCU Academy - Amphibians and Reptiles of the Peruvian Amazon
Amphibians and Reptiles of the Peruvian Amazon
The Amazon Rainforest is world renowned for its beauty, life, and mystery. Despite this global interest, little is known about vast areas of the Amazon that remain untouched by modern civilization. Florida Gulf Coast University has recently partnered with a Peruvian medical and conservation group to conduct research on amphibian and reptile communities at a newly acquired and remote research station near Iquitos, Peru. In the summer of 2019, FGCU faculty and student researchers spent 72 days in the humid Peruvian Amazon Rainforest to help document the amazing diversity. Join us for a fascinating look the amphibian and reptile inhabitants of the Amazon. Speaker: Matthew Metcalf
