Teeny tiny southern corroboree frogs live in a small mountainous patch of Kosciuszko National Park. They ooze poison from their striking skin and hibernate in logs, bark and leaf litter in winter.
But habitat destruction, climate damage, bushfires and a devastating frog fungus mean there are probably less than 100 left in the wild.

Biodiversity is vital to the health of the planet and our own health and wellbeing. Losing beautiful Australian fauna to extinction is a tragedy that can and should be prevented.
Gwenyth Broug as a teacher I am aware that the Australian Education National Curriculum teaches sustainability and the web of life. Students are given the impression that governments actually care and are protecting the environment. Tragic that they are being misled and losing all the incredible diversity of life.
We need better environment protection laws to help save this animal from extinction.
Frogs are an important indicator of environmental health
Degradation of environment.
Dear Ms Chesters,
Logging of our native forests is everyone’s business not the small number of short-sighted people who make profits from it. Please put our environment first and everyone will ultimately be safer and happier.
Thank you for your time,
Andrea
I believe that it is our responsibility to care about other living creatures.
This colourful little critter has done nothing to deserve extinction
Please ensure future generations can enjoy Australia’s vast wildlife!!
Even the smallest of creatures must be valued and protected or our world is a poorer place. PLEASE do all you can.
I have many concerns about the loss of safe habitat for our Australian animals which in turn is putting them at risk of extinction. I have personal experience of the reduction of the Southern Corroboree Frog as I walk a lot in the KNP. Not only is the frog fungus a serious problem but the devastation of bogs and the areas the frogs would reside is severely affected by brumbies. The brumbies need to be reduced and managed not protected. Deer too are making an impact along with feral pigs. Please provide more resources for the reduction of the feral animals in our KNP. Farmers in the area would also benefit from a reduction in feral animals.
Yours sincerely,
Susan Lawton

Australian Flora & Fauna are disappearing at an alarming rate. Frogs are getting rare all over the World. Future generations deserve to see and learn about all of our glorious Animals & Birds. Please be the person that makes a change and help us protect our wonderful Heritage.

It may be that the Government’s own information regarding frogs on the web page is outdated that the importance of frogs is underestimated. Please research this topic and make sure frogs are looked after and treated with respect.
What can be done to STOP our wildlife from disappearing?
I am really concerned by the continual destruction of our natural environment, our forests, waterways and oceans. This is contributing to the loss of plans and animals that share our planet and contribute to the diversity of life which we are a part of.
Please help to stop and reverse this destruction, so that our future generations will have a healthy planet to live upon.
Conservation of the natural environment has to be the priority above the economy. Australia’s environment is on life support, and needs State and Federal protection to keep it going and help it flourish.
There’s no jobs on a dead planet.
These tiny frogs are critically close to becoming extinct. We cannot allow this native animal to disappear due to our human actions.
