The Policy, Regulation and Trade Working Group meets as needed to discuss regulatory and policy issues that impact reptiles and amphibians in North Carolina. We are charged with making recommendations on these issues to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as well as other agencies and stakeholders.

Interested in joining this working group? Our committee is made up of a diverse cross section of people interested in reptile and amphibian conservation and, although we have a set number of voting members, we are always open to new members and our meetings are open to anyone that wants to attend and participate.

In NCPARC we believe the successful conservation of amphibians and reptiles can only be accomplished by combining the expertise and resources of a many individuals and organizations. We seek enthusiastic individuals for participation in our three technical working groups which facilitate herpetological conservation by addressing research, inventory and monitoring needs, policy, regulation and trade issues, and education and outreach objectives.
