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.

I don’t want the earth to lose this creature
Fewer than 100 left. I’ll never see one, but surely we can protect this tiny patch of nature they call home and try to improve their chances.
Disease, habitat loss and climate change have made this tiny creature critically endangered with less than 100 left in the wild. Frogs are so important to sustain the ecological balance of our country. We need strong national laws to protect all our endangered species, so please raise this issue with your party leader. Thank you,

I used to enjoy Corroboree frogs many years ago. Habitat loss has been devastating for them. They need saving
Our natural habitat is not an inexhaustible resource for unethical logging companies and gas moguls to plunder at will. More and more Australians want our habitat protected and renewables to step into the gap. It’s a no brainer and makes economic and political sense. MPs need to listen and commit to renewables and help stop this extinction crisis. The southern corroboree frog doesn’t have a choice but MPs can make the choice on the life of their political career.
There have been so many extinctions of rare and unique frogs over the past 10 years in Australia, we need to help protect these helpless creatures!
Dear Michael Sukkar,
Please take action on climate change and habitat destruction now. This beautiful frog is like a canary in a coal mine. It’s endangerment heralds poor tidings for the environment that supports ALL of us. You may think this creature unimportant but it has its place in our web of life. Remove or damage one small strand and the whole structure falls apart.
Yours in hope,
Lea Oakes
I am a Guardian of these lands. Much death and destruction we have seen. Time has come to balance our Tree of Life. The creatures are also part of our Tree of Life.
We can’t stand here doing nothing while these creatures habitat disappears because of deforestation and climate change. Use your voice to make a difference and help stop species extinction please.
We have lost too many species already in the past two hundred years. Enough of the nonsense, do something about protecting the environment for everyone.

It is time that we all stood up and demanded action to defend our creatures from climate change, to stop unnecessary clearing of their habitats before we have nothing left for our children and grandchildren to see. Look what we Ausssies have allowed to happen in the last fifty years, it is not right. Do we have to be subjected to another round of politicans doing nothing.
We are all responsible for our environment & the animals in it. Politicians have an opportunity to make a difference so therefore please be proactive & protect the environment by creating strong environmental laws. Could you please raise this issue with your party leader. Thank you.
Strong environmental laws are absolutely necessary and as my MP it’s up to you to do something. Plastics, pollution, global warming…all are harming our environment and the creatures that live in it. Please use your position to enact laws that will protect animals that are on the edge of extinction.
Humans are supposed to be smart. Instead of being responsible for making plants, animals & entire ecosystems extinct, we should be PROTECTING them instead. It’s time to step up for the future of the planet.
