Globally frog species are in decline. Over the last five decades in Australia, we have witnessed several frog species go extinct and another 37 listed as threatened or endangered. This decline is due to the intersection of multiple stressors, such as disease, habitat destruction, pollution, invasive predators and climate change. Unfortunately this decline is evident in both our built and natural environment.

 

We have deployed acoustic monitoring devices across each national park that records frog calling behaviours at night. A single device can collects over 65 hours of acoustic data during its three month deployment and with over 50 devices currently deployed across our sites (with more to come), there are not enough hours in a day for us to get through them all. That is where you come in!

 

Help us identify the calling frogs so that we may better understand the distribution and habitats of our target species.
