Why Reptiles and Amphibians Matter to our Ecosystems

In this episode of the Primal Biology Show, I sit down with Dr. Joe Milanovich, an expert in amphibian and reptile ecology, to explore the critical roles these often-overlooked creatures play in our ecosystems. Dr. Milanovich shares insights from his years of research into how climate change and habitat loss are impacting amphibians and reptiles—and why their decline could send shockwaves throughout entire ecosystems.

We discuss everything from their role in controlling insect populations to their importance in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem health. For anyone passionate about conservation, this conversation with Dr. Milanovich highlights why protecting these species is essential for preserving the delicate balance of our natural world.
