RFI Herping Southern India
Posted: May 30th, 2017, 5:14 am
Hi Folks,
I'll be traveling to India for a teacher exchange. I'll be visiting schools and doing some teaching while I'm there. My best opportunity to get out and poke around for herps will be when I'm at my host town which will be in Chennangkuppam, roughly half way between Bengaluru and Chennai. I'd be curious to hear from anyone with experience from that region of India regarding herping opportunities.
Also, I'll be teaching some lessons to share our environmental education program with students there. One of my favorite projects has been involving our students in the Maryland Amphibian and Reptile Atlas and now the MD Biodiversity Project. I am considering an activity to collect amphibian recordings around the schoolyard in Chennangkuppam and conducting some classroom analysis. Is anyone aware of a good resource for frog and toad calls for that region?
Any help will be appreciated!
