Now available, via the Network of Conservation Educatiors & Practitioners (NCEP; a program of The American Museum of Natural History) is an outreach teaching module reviewing all aspects of the global crisis of amphibian declines and extinctions. Module includes a thoroughly annotated and illustrated PowerPoint presentation, an overview Synthesis monograph with extensive literature citations, as well as proposed in-class teaching exercises and solutions. The module is aimed toward university-level students (e.g., Conservation Biology, or Herpetology, courses) but it is open-format so it can be edited and customized to any particular need or audience. A sample panel appears below.

Citation and link for free download: Mendelson, J . R., III, and R. Donnelly.

The authors also are actively seeking K– 12 and other educators to collaborate to prepare versions of this module appropriate for non- university students and

public audiences. For more information, or copies of these materials, please contact J oe Mendelson: jmendelson@zooatlanta. org

NOTES Recall the importance of water and

humidity to the survival and reproduction of amphibians. Even subtle changes in local vegetation, level or timing of water flow in a creek, or water temperatures can negatively impact amphibians. Realize that the “land-use change” may involve more than just alteration of vegetation (e.g., deforestation) or soils (e.g., plowing), but may be accompanied by chemicals (e.g., herbicides on a farm) or streetlights that make amphibians more visible to predators. A few amphibians appear to be very tolerant of habitat alteration around them and may persist even in environments as degraded as a vacant lot in a major city or a golf course.
