Thomas Weaver: Amphibian Conservation Methods in Zoos and Aquariums

Tom is the Curator of Herpetology, Ichthyology and Invertebrate Zoology at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. He has 30 years of experience working for multiple zoological institutions, and sits on the American Zoological Association Amphibian Taxon Advisory Group Steering Committee. Tom has focused a lot of his career involved in Amphibian Conservation efforts both in situ and ex situ. He will be presenting on a couple different conservation programs like the Panamanian Golden Frog (Atelopus zeteki), Lake Titicaca Frog (Telmatobius culeus), Boreal and Wyoming Toad Projects (Anaxyrus boreas and A. baxteri). All of which involve field studies, captive husbandry, and educational efforts.
