Biology of the Despised - Toads - ASF 2026
Every year, Amphibian Foundation highlights a despised species or taxon during the Atlanta Science Festival. This year’s ‘Biology of the Despised’ series will focus on toads. Amphibian Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness about the global decline of amphibians. Here in metro Atlanta, AF also works to address the urban pressures affecting our neighborhood amphibians, including toads, who are often overlooked or misunderstood. Toads may not be flashy, but they play a critical role in our ecosystems and deserve our attention and respect. Too often, they’re dismissed as pests or feared without reason. At the Foundation, we’ve made it part of our mission to help people see these bumpy creatures for what they truly are; fascinating, beneficial neighbors. Join us as we explore the incredible world of toads. You might find that what seemed like fear was actually curiosity all along.
