Learn about obstacles animals of the Amazon River are facing, then meet some Amazonian animals.
This immersive lecture is led by Samantha Slevens, a Zoologist and owner of the wildlife education company Zoophoria NJ who lived in the Amazon rainforest for over four months researching animals. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet and interact with various animals native to the Amazon rainforest, including a cane toad, iguana, and red-tailed boa constrictor. In addition to learning about these animals’ fascinating biology and behavior, the lecture also highlights the various threats the Amazon rainforest and its inhabitants face, like logging, commercial fishing, river damming, poaching, and pollution. Join us for a fun-filled event and learn about the changes that must be made to keep the Amazon rainforest thriving for generations to come.
