First Fridays Science Discussion | Natural History Museum Of Los Angeles

Southern California has historically been home to one of the most diverse reptile and amphibian faunas in North America. Some of these species continue to persist in and around urban LA, others are declining, and several have gone locally extinct. In this discussion, we will talk briefly about three projects that members of the UCLA/La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science are conducting that explore what we have done to eliminate these amazing species, and what we are doing to try to bring them back.
