Thanks for supporting road ecology research!

Thank you all for your support of my project! With your help, I will be able to purchase my solar panels and do some sorely-needed maintenance on my other equipment. I spoke about this project at the International Conference on Ecology and Transportation (ICOET) last week, and it garnered a lot of interest from the scientific and industrial community. Thanks for helping me move forward on this exciting work!

I especially want to thank Animex Animal Exclusion Fencing (http://animexfencing.com/) for their generous in-person donation at ICOET. Animex is a U.K.-based company that helps mitigate the effects of roads worldwide. Countless animals have been saved from becoming roadkill thanks to them, and I'm grateful to have their support in learning more about another effect of roads.

Look out for more updates as the project moves forward!

About This Project

Frogs are common visitors to our backyards, and these fascinating creatures are also great indicators of our environment's health. However, they face a number of threats, leaving many species endangered.

My project investigates how traffic noise, a widespread source of disturbance, may be affecting frog movement, reproduction, and stress. To do this, I need to obtain solar panels to play traffic noise in a remote area.

Any donations past $225 will be used to keep this experiment going and growing!

Blast off!
