Instrumentl, a platform for researchers to crowdfund their research projects, has started a grant challenge for researchers to conserve amphibian biodiversity. Proposed projects range from amphibian disease to habitat/ distribution studies to school outreach programs. Donate now and help fight against amphibian extinctions!
AmphibiaWeb is donating one item from their online store to donors who give $100 or more to one of the following Bsal projects. Data from these projects will be contributed to the amphibian disease portal and be made publicly available.
Biodiversity Crisis - Let’s be prepared!: Shruti Chaulkulkar at San Francisco State University will study historical to present-day prevalence of Bsal and conduct susceptibility trials for west coast salamanders.
Save Our Salamanders!: Heidi Rockney will go to Asia to search for the source of Bsal and identify the distributions of potential reservoirs.
