TADPOLE - Tropical Amphibian Distribution and Population Operation for Life-saving Efforts - is a non-profit organization dedicated to informing and educating the public regarding our obligation to protect and preserve the Amazon's amphibian species.
TADPOLE’s early work in Yasuní would lead Shawn to the top of the canopy to find the unknown frogs that have been heard calling from large water-filled epiphytic tank bromeliads. Shawn’s PhD research focused on environmental quality effects and the ecological context of a rainforest canopy bromeliad fauna.
