About the author

Ever since he entered the steamy jungles of Cameroon at the tender age of 20 to study chameleon poop, Robin Moore has been a powerful voice for the protection of the world's under-appreciated creatures, the amphibians and reptiles.

After gaining a PhD in biodiversity, Robin headed up the Amphibian Program at Conservation International and spearheaded the innovative Search for Lost Frogs. Over six months, as more than 120 researchers slashed through jungle and waded rivers in 21 countries in search of species lost to science, their images and stories captured the imagination of the public and graced the pages of news outlets the world over.

Robin has helped to found and build the Amphibian Survival Alliance - the world's largest partnership for amphibian conservation - and is a Fellow of the prestigious International League of Conservation Photographers.

Reviews

[Julian Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

An absolutely fab read mixing travel, adventure, and survival in a fantastic quest to fins lost (and in some cases, previously thought extinct) frogs.

The author writes in an engrossing way and brings humanity to the fore with great skill as he navigates drama, concern, frustration, and elation.

A surprise find but a cracking and thoroughly enjoyable read.
