Summary
Together with other coordinators, arrange the deployment of volunteers to safely transfer amphibians during migration.Detailed description
General information for a co-coordinator :
Throughout Kennemerland, 16 toad working groups are active at 37 different migration locations. Approximately 20,000 toads, frogs and salamanders are safely transferred each year. However, amphibians are under great pressure due to various causes, including increased traffic intensity. Their numbers have decreased by 60% since 2000. As a co-coordinator, you can therefore make an important contribution to preserving local amphibian populations. The amphibian migration usually takes place in the period from mid-February to mid-April. As a co-coordinator, you have a number of specific tasks to ensure that the deployment of volunteers runs as optimally as possible. In addition, as a co-coordinator, you determine to what extent you want to participate in the safe transfer of amphibians. With regard to the management and maintenance of permanent facilities such as tunnels and guides, coordination takes place with the municipality as road manager. Send an email if you are interested in this volunteer position and/or for more information.
