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.

Protect critically endangered species by making stronger environmental laws
I am 10 years old. We need to save our fauna (and flora) for future generations. You can talk all you want, but you’re not convincing me or anybody else. Did you know that of 100% of megafauna in the world; only 8% is left. I want my children and grandchildren to experience these amazing creatures. Act. Do. Be thankful that you can, because there will come a time when it is too late, and you can’t.
Australia, and through Australia Australians, are blessed with an extraordinary and largely unique biota. Unfortunately, too many of them are hovering on the edge of extinction – such as the southern corroboree frog. The only way to ensure this doesn’t happen is to strengthen the laws that are designed to protect our environments.

We need strong national environment laws to protect the places and wildlife we love, for the next generation like my grand children to be able to appreciate these wonderful creatures please ask your leader to do what is required so these disappearing creatures have a chance.
to work towards this
Animals and there habitat need to be protected. Energy policy needs to change to incorporate renewable sources, and animal agriculture should be gradually phased out. Forest regrowth in saved land and substantive protection of wildlife should be the policy direction of our leaders.
Please protect this tiny frog from extinction and be its hero and its voice ?all living creatures are so precious !
Biodiversity reflects the health of ecosystems. If we do not put money into protecting it we will need to put money into replacing what they provide with more expensive man-made alternatives. Protecting them is protecting our future.
We need more efforts from government to stop the destruction of our native forest and reduce our carbon footprint on the Earth.
The Snowy is a fragile ecosystem, home to critically endangered species such as the Southern corroboree frog. It’s also in a bellwether electorate where many of us care about the environment and want elected members to put in place strong national laws to protect our environmental heritage before it’s too late.

This needs to stop. How are animals becoming extinct in this day and age.
Disgusting
I had the opportunity to see the breading program of these frogs in action at recent trip to Taronga Zoo. However these frogs need more help, they need their fragile habitat protected from feral animals and human interference. It is our guardianship duty to protect wildlife, fauna and their habitat. Please do not let more extinctions to occur due to apathy. Take action now to legislate for strong environmental laws to protect what is left. Extinction is forever. Thank you for your your considered attention and action.

We need stronger environmental laws to protect beautiful native Australian animals. Please make sure that our laws protect our native fauna and flora from endangerment, extinction, and destruction.
These animals have no voice and are a vital part of our ecosystem!
Australia is a miracle land of hugely diverse and fascinating creatures. We are losing so many of them at such a rapid rate. Please highlight that action is required in a sustained way to protect these magnificent innocents.
Politicians & greedy industry have STILL not figured it out… Nature is a fine balance & every element is necessary. Don’t you people have children & grandchildren for heaven’s sake???
We need stronger environmental laws for industry.
