Description

Want to discover the coolest conservation job out there? If you’re not afraid of narrow openings, falling rocks, tight spaces, and deep, dark crevices - along with some creepy-crawly critters you might not even see - then you’re in for a treat! You guessed it; this episode is all about the amazing world of biospeleology!

In this episode, we meet Dr. Iva Njunjic, a cave biologist who has explored over 300 caves across Europe and Asia, where she’s discovered species new to science!

Join the Repton Dubai Podcast crew and Chanda Miyanda as they tell her incredible story set in the caves of the stunning Komarnica Canyon in northwest Montenegro.


And don’t worry, cave animals are small and not scary at all.  Caves are nutrient-poor habitats, which means they can’t support large animals. Want to learn more, listen now.
