Northwest PARC recognizes the need for collaborative approaches and solutions to complex amphibian and reptile conservation problems. At times, researchers, educators, policy makers and practitioners may not realize that there are other groups working on similar conservation issues or recognize where needs have not been addressed.
We are addressing this gap with the In Your Area initiative, a free and open online database of ‘who is doing what and where’, relating to amphibian and reptile projects. Voluntary content is created by individuals, organizations, and community groups. The initiative’s main goal is to facilitate networking, collaboration and partnership opportunities in the greater Northwest area.
We are always looking for content contributors!
