How Else Can You Help Reptiles and Amphibians?
Practice Conservation

We welcome your support and conservation efforts. Whether you can do something small or large, do something. And thanks.

• Observe herptiles (and contribute records individually or as organizations)
• Learn more about them with posters, DVDs, guidebooks, and going outside
• Donate with a check or money order
• Teach (we can help you).
• Work with your local Conservation and/or Planning Commission
• Take classes (with us or your local university, college, and after-school groups)
• Do research
• Change things around your house to protect and encourage local, native species. You might:
  • Use a FrogLog in a swimming pool
  • Garden with native plants
  • Reduce or refuse pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides in your garden and/or lawn
  • Provide suitable habitat for local species: small pools; shady and cool shelter for toads or salamanders; basking areas for snakes, and so on
• Ask your journalists to discover and report on efforts to conserve and threats being faced by herptiles
• Practice conservation with each action, purchase, and use of resources
