The Impacts of Traditional Medicine on Wild Tokay Geckos | DIY Reptiles

This is a poster presentation I did for my Introduction to Environmental Sciences class I am taking at The Ohio State University Marion. Since it is a video relating to reptiles and all of the sources are cited, I decided I would upload it on my channel. This is also an important issue that it might be interesting to learn about.
