July 11, 2012

Froglife's Public Engagement Officer Sivi Sivanesan has been finding out more about some research into protecting amphibians from falling down drainage pots at the side of roads.

I've certainly pulled a few animals out of drains over the years - often very emaciated. Sustainable drainage systems that minimise the use of gully pots feeding already overloaded wastewater systems are surely the way to go for all new developments.

About Me

As principal ecologist for Calumma Ecological Services, I am able to put my interest in reptiles and amphibians to good effect. Like most folks that work with wildlife, my activities extend beyond just 'the job' and I am also involved with several local conservation groups. Being the county recorder for reptiles and amphibians in Kent certainly helps me to fill in those spare moments when I'm not busy with the kids!
