What to expect

This year, Stichting Herpetofauna and Poppodium Phoenix are raising funds for two important causes:
Protecting the endangered Orinoco crocodile in Venezuela – Heavily hunted for its skin in the 19th and 20th centuries, this species now numbers fewer than 3,000 adults in the wild.
Planting mangrove forests in Kenya – Brain Youth Group is working to restore natural mangrove habitats. This crucial work helps save countless reptiles and amphibians from a path toward extinction.
