EnglishTurtles, iguanas, and frogs! Oh my!
Committed to biodiversity conservation, Paso Pacífico conducts a wide range of research to identify and understand the flora and fauna of the Paso del Istmo. We consider different elements of wildlife across the landscape: birds, bats, bugs, and herps (amphibians and reptiles).
We’re currently studying the Robber frog, the Painted Wood turtle, and the Five-keeled Spiny-tailed Iguana. Herp partners include the Turtle Conservancy, the International Iguana Foundation, and Wildlife Without Borders: Working with people to conserve nature.
Read more about current herpetological research in our May Newsletter.
Biodiversity Field Guides
Made possible with the support of USAID and FHI360, Paso Pacífico is creating field guides to help promote environmental awareness and facilitate eco-tourism in the areas where we work.
Check out all the animals identified in the three field guides we’ve published so far.
