Become a Member for 2025 and make a difference on Our Planet
Hello Everyone!
I am hoping this message finds you well. Thank you for visiting our site!
Here's is a short story I hope will inspire you.
Ever since I was 6 years old and discovered tadpoles in bear mountain NY,
I could feel the life around me. It was so exciting to see animals in the wild, especially Reptiles, Amphibians and Bugs. Unfortunately, today they are some of the most endangered creatures on our planet.
After starting Erik's Reptile Edventures in 2006, I traveled around the world, and made many friends in America, Madagascar, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, The Philippines, and Borneo. During those travels, there were many children that couldn't go to school or have access to healthy food.
Because of this, in December, of 2011 we had our first Nature Center meeting in Ranomafana Madagascar, and Wildlife Kids Club International Inc. was born!
This 501c3 charity connects children and families worldwide to nature and each other. It is also a reminder that we can all make a difference if we just believe!
Now we are starting a New year with another season of our PBS series Menghayati! and community out reach with our Species Adventures weekly program !
I hope you will join us this season to spread Love to more Animals People and our Planet !
Peace, Joy, and Happiness, Always
Love,
Erik Callender (The Reptile Guy)
