Features 86th CES conducts amphibious environmental conservation April 30, 2015 Photos by Staff Sgt. Armando A. Schwier-Morales Joshua Lee, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental management intern, looks for amphibians in a net, April 22 on Ramstein. Lee helped conduct an amphibian survey to ensure the base has an accurate picture of the species within the fenceline. Susanne Panzer, 86th Civil Engineer Squadron natural scientist and biological geographer, receives a larva from Jürgen Ott, doctor of biology. Panzer and Ott conduct regular surveys of Ramstein’s wetlands and wildlife to inventory and study the impact the Ramstein mission has on the environment. Panzer and Lee begin their search for amphibians near a local wetland. The 86th CES ensures Ramstein protects the local environment through surveys and cause-and-impact studies on and around the base. Panzer examines a larva near a pond on Ramstein. Panzer holds a frog — she conducted a field survey to document whether the amphibian population on base had changed since the last survey.
