Biodiversity Couse: Pond Life of Jersey

Location - Philip Mourant Centre, Trinity

A 2hour evening course covering amphibian and other pond life identification.

Participants will also learn how to implement safe and responsible pond-dipping techniques as well as identify and plan ways to improve pond habitats to help in conservation.

As we say goodbye to Genny our first ever paid internship staff member she has kindly written an article on how this experience has helped her develop in conservation. 

Conservation status: Amphibians are the most threatened taxa due to anthropogenic factors such as habitat destruction, environmental contamination and most importantly climate change. They are sensitive to climate change due to their permeable skin as they rely on optimal microclimatic conditions for osmoregulation and respiration (Combes et al., 2018).
