Paul's work over the past 20 years has focused on the conservation of reptiles and amphibians. In his current role at a herpetologist in the Wildlife Diversity Program at Texas Parks and Wildlife, Paul focuses on conservation programs for rare reptiles and amphibian in Texas. This work includes identifying and removing barriers to conservation success, whether they be information gaps, a lack of social support for programs, or insufficient resources.
Conservation biologists are often insufficiently trained in general on agricultural land management practices that can benefit biodiversity. I created a presentation on the design, implementation, and benefits of patch burn grazing to biodiversity, for wildlife and conservation biologists.
