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.

We are so lucky to have such unique wildlife in Australia. Why do we allow the destruction of their homes? Why do we allow this mass clearing of the forests and woodlands? This is their home, and they need our protection. There must be strong environmental laws put in place before we lose more of our amazing animals.
We go ahead and log and wipe out important wildlife sites that provide homes for hundreds of important and endangered species for the benefit of only humans is not ok and we need to be aware that the earth should not even be used the way we use it cause it’s not healthy and natural for the earth. We need to make make sure we cause the smallest impact humanly possible or simply just no impact starting now cause it’s critical for keeping the earth balanced and alive and we have already caused way to much extinction and that’s very sad
If you believe money is more important than the voices of those who have given you the privilege to represent us, then quit.
You are our voice, your decisions are supposed to be a reaction of what we want.
These animals need to be saved from human kinds destruction, they were here first and we are always destroying what little home they have left, soon they will die out and it will be another animal we are left without.
Australia is a very fragile, dry environment. It is also a continent that has remained separate from the rest of the world so we have a very unique species of animals present. This means that important clear and strict environment law would need to be in place to protect the animals on out unique continent.
I am 17 years of age, and I plan to travel and see the world when I graduate high school. I fear that we are losing our environment at such a rapid rate that I will not be able to experience our native flora and fauna when I travel around Australia.
This rapid loss is devastating, and it is up to the people of Australia to voice a need for change, but it is up to our government to listen. Please, on behalf of the young people who are yet to see the beauty our country has to offer, hear us now before it is too late.
My special concern is the corroboree frog. By allowing brumbies to roam and destroy the high country in the only piece of alpine country on the Australian mainland we are causing extinction of this rare and endangered beautiful creature. My daughter saw one in the wild 50 years ago, a fantastic thrill. I have seen one only in captivity.
I don’t want to tell my son that I didn’t do enough to save amazing creatures, such as the Southern Corroboree frog. As a country and as a people, we need to do more to protect our unique biodiversity; stronger environmental laws overseen by independent regulators is one important step.
The Southern Corroboree frog deserves the best possible chance of not only surviving but also increasing its population in its natural environment. My great grandchildren and yours have a right to see these animals in their natural habitat rather than as a glossy image in a magazine, book or other media.
In this stressful time of climate change, we need to preserve our forests for our own survival as well as the survival of our unique Australian species.
Please strenghten the laws protecting our natural environment.
Our environment requires stronger laws to survive us.
This is the only planet we have. We shouldn’t need to die or kill others for society’s economical progress at the detriment of all our homes.
We need to act now to stop environmental degradation and further species extinction!
- …so these and other endangered creatures do not become extinct!
We need to protect the earth and its creatures, there is no planet B we need to respect all life forms.
We don’t want to loose any more precious animals
Preserving our incredible & unique wildlife is of paramount importance. We have the power & obligation to protect these sacred beings. No short or long term economical gain is ever more important than the lives of our wildlife. The strongest laws should be implicated to protect these habitats.
The science is clear. Make environmental laws stronger (anti deforestation and climate change policy) or lose my and my family’s vote.
When I was a child, the corroboree frog was one of my favourites. Now there is probably less than 100 left in the wild. You should well be aware of what’s happening to the koalas in this area, let’s not lose anymore of our native animals because of selfish actions. Do something that actually matters, be a voice for the voiceless so future generations can appreciate our wildlife like I did and still do… Thank you.
