This week I am joined by Dr. Alessandro Catenazzi. Alessandro is a conservation biologist who assesses amphibian populations for the IUCN red list, We discuss what the IUCN is, how species and populations are assessed, and what the future holds for endangered frogs.  We also talk about frog species native to the Peruvian cloud forest biome, and how many endangered species are actually on the rebound.For AmphibiCast Merch, to support the show by becoming a Patron, and for a 10% listener discount on and In Situ Ecosystems vivarium visit:  https://linktr.ee/AmphibiCastTo find out more about Alessandro and his research visit https://www.catenazzilab.org/
