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.

The corroboree frog live in already vulnerable environment. This endemic creature cannot adapt quickly to change as it lives in a largely unchanging environment. With human activity this creature and many other are endangered. If something is not done many endemic species will be lost. Even educating people on their impacts can make a difference. I don’t yet have a loud enough voice but you do. Please help.
If we allow the continued destruction of critical habitat resulting in the extinction of so many species we will be the disgrace of the future. We will go down in history as the generation that failed to coexist peacefully and respectfully with our natural environment and, in our greed and disregard for consequence, denied our fellow inhabitants their right to exist
Defenceless & innocent creatures need & deserve protection. Please help.
diversity is out strength, lets stop extinction !
It makes me sad to think that Australia’s unique and distinct ecosystem is dying because humanity refuses to protect it. What will you do to fix it?
Frogs are a barometer of the environment. Save the frogs and other fauna & flora and save the environment!!!!!!!!!
We as a nation, need to appreciate the wealth of unique flora & fauna that we have in Australia. We need to protect & cherish it rather than blast it out of existence by drilling, mining , clearing & poisoning vast tracts of land & sea for short term gains.
Surely the uniqueness of our country is worth protecting & fostering. Even monetarily, doesn’t that make sense? ( Even if the ethical reasons don’t appeal to a government bent on a quick fix?)
I am hear to speak up for every creature who needs help from human beings who are taking over their world. Every living creature, big or small should be important to us all.
Please stop the destruction of the bush and protect the Corroboree frog from extinction. Losing then forever would be a shameful .
The Southern Corroboree Frog and many other animals and birds are endangered because of loss of habitat. Short term economic goals of protecting jobs in the timber industry will result in permanent ecological damage and loss of species to the detriment of the environment long term. Other jobs in alternative industries can be created but, once lost, species cannot be replaced.
Something needs to be done about the awareness of chemicals used in society. Round-up is cancer causing and kills all the essential life balancing environmental components… Frogs, bees, insects. Without these we are truly going to die off. Someone please get rid of round up once and for all. Its basic logic and common sense. Its simple.
I would like to think our grandchildren and their children ’s children would be able to see some of the native animals I have been lucky enough to see. We must look after this wonderful country and the inhabitants that do not have a voice.
I care about endangered animals.
These tiny defenseless creatures have as much right as you or I to being protected from destruction by environmental degradation resulting from a changed climate. Climate change is an insidious process which we have a short window of opportunity to slow down. But we need to act now.
Australia is an incredible island; its separation from the rest of the world has allowed it to maintain its biodiversity and uniqueness. That was until the beginning of modern Australian in 1788. I am a descendant of this invasion and I don’t want my legacy to be the loss of habitat and species in the place I call home and love dearly. Can you please fight on my behalf, for legislation to protect our unique habitats that will see our wildlife continue into the future?
It would we an insult to our country if we were to let our native creatures die
It’s important that we prevent further destruction of native animals’ habitat, especially by the extreme rate at which our native forests are being logged. Please do all you can to prevent further habitat damage.
When these stunning frogs disappear altogether the Planet Earth is heading down also..
