New Education-Outreach Video Series from ARC

Post by JeffHolmes »

The Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy (http://amphibianandreptileconservancy.org/), in partnership with video producers The Sticky Tongue Project (http://thestickytongue.org/) has launched a new education-outreach video web series starring Whit Gibbons.

This year-long, 24-episode series features "fascinating facts and helpful conservation tips" for everyone "from homeowners to professional land and wildlife managers." A special episode devoted exclusively to field herpers is scheduled for spring.

You can view the introductory episode here: http://youtu.be/LPHCl25BpBM or here: http://vimeo.com/53607787#at=0

The second episode, released this morning, is available here: http://youtu.be/5x8rZC7vIMk or here: http://vimeo.com/54240556

You can subscribe to the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy's YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAmphibiansReptile

Please enjoy!

Sincerely,

Great new video, perfect to share with people who don't appreciate amphibians and reptiles till they understand how conservation impacts their wallet and health: http://youtu.be/w5_sOVtv4Tc

Jeff,
These clips are great! We just developed a middle school science unit on amphibian and reptile conservation and I think that I'm going to link some of these videos for the student resources. The first lesson of the unit focuses on why we should care about herps and the videos have the right message and are of a perfect length for this audience. I'll be on the lookout for more of these as you produce them. Great work!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted our new educational videos. Our latest is titled "Snakes Indicate a Healthy Environment" and can be found here: http://youtu.be/OcwKbCJK3v0

We have posted several others recently, so the easiest way to catch up is to simply visit our auto-play playlist here and watch them all in order or skip around to the ones that interest you most: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL ... QYWnFmPwAy

Hellbenders, sirens, amphiumas... "Some of the most intriguing animals in the world are ones we seldom see because they are part of our hidden biodiversity. Among the most unusual are the giant salamanders." Please enjoy the latest video in our your-long series starring Whit Gibbons and produced by The Sticky Tongue Project. http://youtu.be/O2OPq-V1DIY

Reptile sounds. This episode features some outstanding footage including a Western Hognose Snake (hissing!), American Alligators and a VERY large Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. http://youtu.be/7YFLzQYriEw
