Indonesia is the largest exporter of frog’s legs, but many of her citizen have yet to be acquainted properly with this amphibian. In this talk, Mirza Kusrini explains how we can learn so much about our environment by getting to know them and why we should be worried when they’re not around our house anymore. If you can’t find her in her classroom in Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), you can probably find Mirza Kusrini exploring the jungles, knee deep in her research on amphibians. Her dissertation on the harvest of three species of frogs in Indonesia and its conservation implication in 2006 has lead her to be the Chair of the Indonesian Herpetologist Society, while also an advocate of amphibian and reptile conservation. She also led several conservation education projects in Indonesia to children and adults through wildlife camp, teacher training, and school counseling.
