Videos by Reptile Encounters in Melbourne. At Reptile Encounters our mission is to be a voice for those that don't have one. Our goal is to create a generation of "Better Humans"!
It’s biodiversity month. Deforestation, land clearing and other human activity have had a massive effect on our ecosystems. The natural balance is at risk. We need to protect what we have so that we don’t lose it for good. @joshcox_wildlife #biodiversity #reptileencounters #joshcox
