Hello Caudate Enthusiasts!
Hope everyone in the US had a good Labor Day weekend! I wanted to share the most recent AmphibiCast podcast where Dan Interviews Dr. Matt Gray. As described in the show notes "Dr. Gray is Associate Director of the UTIA Center for Wildlife Health and has dedicated years of his career to the study of amphibian diseases such as ranavirus and chytrid (Bd and Bsal)", "Dr. Gray is also an avid supporter of a clean amphibian trade and works in conjunction with organizations such as PIJAC to develop strategies that may save us from future trade bans."
From what I gathered, Dr. Gray seems very optimistic and wants to hear from the businesses, breeders and hobbyists in the community. Caudate enthusiasts are one of the groups that were hit the hardest from these bans so I'm grateful for the opportunity to potentially make a difference.
I highly recommend everyone to go and listen to the podcast as it goes in much more detail than I could on here. I would love to hear peoples thoughts on the matter.
