FaunaClassifieds - Question for Moderators!!!! or Admins!!! Anyone who regulates posts!!!

Hello!

I'm looking for people involved in the amphibian pet trade (hobbyist, distributors, owners, and breeders) to have a phone interview with! I'm mainly looking for those involved in the salamander trade, but definitely open to frog trade members as well!

My question is: can I make a recruitment post with information about a gift card incentive, a survey link for preliminary contacting information, and a more detailed description on this site? If I can, what forums would this be allowed/not deleted?

This is for a research project that is supported by PIJAC, the USGS, and Michigan State University. The info gathered from these interviews will be used to create a widespread survey to make sure any policies or regulations are informed by the people that they will ACTUALLY affect (MEANING YOU!).

I know many people in the amphibian community have hesitation about working with the government/researchers. I am hoping to build some trust through this project. I truly am looking to listen and learn! I believe that working with the public is the ONLY way to effectively help mitigate the spread of amphibian diseases, specifically Bsal.

If you are seeing this and know how I can privately DM a mod, please let me know! I'm still learning
