Join The Reptile Youth Alliance
Join The Reptile Youth Alliance
Reptiles and amphibians face unique conservation challenges when compared to other animals. Profound social and cultural barriers result in high rates of persecution, less public support for conservation, and less priority in regards to research, attention, and funding. Furthermore, herpetofauna continue to decline in number with researchers now estimating that over 40% of the world’s studied amphibians (IUCN, 2018) and ~20% of studied reptiles are threatened with extinction worldwide.
The purpose of the Reptile Youth Alliance is to bring attention to problems such as habitat destruction, pollution, and human-wildlife conflict that complicate the efforts to protect herpetofauna and their habitats. The Reptile Youth Alliance is a national group of passionate young reptile enthusiasts that are provided an opportunity to connect with peers, mentors, learn about herpetofauna, their habitats, and how we can work together to increase conservation support for reptiles and amphibians among the public.

The ball python is without a doubt the world’s most popular pet snake, and for the first time on Dāv Kaufman's Reptile Adventures, comes a feature length documentary on how the ball python is living in the wilds of Africa. For almost a month, I toured from Ghana to Togo and Benin to tell not only the story of how the ball Python is living out in the wild, but I’ll also tell the story of its economic impact and how it has positively influenced the culture in west Africa. This is the story of the world's most popular pet snake. This is the story of the ball Python in the wild in Africa.
