Mark Mandica

I am the Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Amphibian Foundation in Atlanta, GA USA. (Pronounce my name)

Driven by a lifetime of passion for amphibians, I started the Foundation because more can be done to protect these vulnerable species — many of which are rapidly disappearing in response to degraded habitats, water quality, and a shifting climate (these should all be concerns for us too, BTW).

I am passionate about the intersection of art, music and science. I am wholly committed to inclusivity in conservation — we need to get everyone involved ...and I'm a big fan of puddles.
