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.
Will you lodge a missing creature alert with your local Member of Parliament? Tell them we need strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love – and ask them to raise this with their party leader.
Fill out the webform with your name and why you care. We'll print your name and message on a special missing creature alert and post it to your local MP. If you prefer, you can print and post it yourself.

All native animals have a right to exist and need protection. Our future depends on a healthy ecosystem.
All life on earth needs to be helped & protected. No living souls should ever be extinct. We need to help all animal life where ever possibble. Very sad, i will help where ever i can, speak up for the voiceless
Please help the Southern Corroboree Frog and save it from going extinct due to the spread of the chytrid fungus, climate change and the loss of habitat caused by us. Ignoring the plight of our wildlife only makes life worse for all, not just the particular species involved. Thankyou.
The Southern corroboree frog is a unique species under threat from habitat destruction and other threats. Please act now to ensure this species survives and thrives.
Please stop needless destruction of our planet for the sake of MONEY for big companies at the cost of our wild life
Life still deserves life.
Every creature, no matter how small, is important !

To the Honourable
Minister of Parliament,
I urge you to stop logging.
It is vital for our species.
The southern corroboree frog will be in danger:
And will go too extinction.
Please reverse your decision.
Yours sincerely.
Catharina de Graaff.
All animals need to be protected! Our greed does not trump the welfare/existence of all the other animals in the animal kingdom!
Once they’re gone they’re gone :-(
All animals matter, we can’t allow any creature to disappear.
Great frog. Belongs in our ever-diminishing and fragile alpine ecosystems. Just like how Brumbies don’t…
What an amazing frog!
Please protect the Southern Cooroboree Frog’s habitat and don’t let these beautiful animals become extinct.What an amazing frog.
Our environment and the animals are the guarantors of a sustainable future for our children
In the couple of centuries since European settlement we have misused this country with excessive land clearing and wasteful water use, over-grazing and inappropriate agricultural practices, sprawling urban development and unsustainable mining practices. Not to mention climate change, caused by the profligate use of fossil fuels. We must change our ways, or our children and grandchildren will not forgive us.
Having been isolated from the rest of the world for over 60 million years, Australia has unique flora and fauna. More than 80% of Australia’s plants, mammals, reptiles and frogs are unique to Australia, found nowhere else. But Australia also has the highest rate of extinction in the world. Please take action to stop unique native species such as the southern corroboree frog from disappearing.
The sound and sights of frogs is special in our world. Keep their calls sounding for our children. Keep their alive for their sake. Keep their environment safe.
In my opinion, man does not have the right to dome other species to extinction. Politicians have to realise that the majority of Australians don’t want our beautiful and unique wildlife and their environments destroyed for short term economic greed. Please Mr Politician, start protecting our environment and all of its creatures because next election, you may become “politically extinct” also.
Our Australian wildlife is amazing and we cannot risk ever losing one species of it.
Southern Corroboree Frog deserves its own show. Make sure it has place to perform.
