when i was doing a unit on conservation at uni an amphibian expert came to talk to us about some kind of fungus that was killing a lot of amphibians. He didn't seem too confident about being able to stop its progress, and he was working on one of the conservation efforts.

Amphibians are suffering big time at the moment. Not having a water tight skin puts them at high risk with today`s pollution levels too. Can you remember who the chap was working with/for Kat?

if he was talking on the Chytrid fungus he was probably from ZSL.
