He has since been involved in 20 field expeditions spa nning the globe\, from Honduras to Madagascar to Hong Kong. In 2007\, Kolb y was awarded a National Geographic Young Explorers Grant to study chytrid fungus and amphibian declines in Honduras. After completing this project\ , Kolby decided to dedicate himself to combatting global amphibian decline s and extinction. He recently established the Honduras Amphibian Research & Conservation Center to specifically prevent amphibian extinctions in Hon duras. Kolby completed his Ph.D. at James Cook University in Australia\, w here he studied the global spread of amphibian chytrid fungus and ranaviru s. Kolby has published over a dozen scientific papers\, written blog posts for National Geographic and the IUCN Amphibian Specialist Group\, and cur rently runs a citizen science project on iNaturalist called “Saving Sala manders with Citizen Science” to help monitor for the emergence of salam ander chytrid fungus in the United States. To make science more accessible to the general public\, Kolby actively uses photography and social media to help raise awareness about wildlife conservation issues. He also manage s a YouTube channel featuring videos and short films produced for the Hond uras Amphibian Research & Conservation Center.
