Frogs Are Special

Why Focus on Frogs?
  1. Kuranda has several endangered rainforest frogs
  2. One of these, the Kuranda Tree Frog (Litoria myola), is found nowhere else in the world
  3. The frogs that need help are those that use the streams. The pond breeders are doing just fine.
  4. Frogs are an excellent gauge of environment health.
  5. Healthy frog populations indicates healthy populations of other species.
  6. Frogs are iconic and locals and tourists love them.

Looking after stream frogs is easy.  They just need healthy streams and some rainforest. And they need everyone to be careful about what happens upstream.  

Why mention frogs in particular?  The presence of frogs, especially endemic frogs, is an excellent gauge of the health of our rainforest ecosystem and waterways.  They are also an iconic species, tourists and locals alike associate frogs with rainforest.  

Keeping frogs healthy will mean the rest of the environment is healthier too. What happens upstream flows-on so let's make our Frog Friendly philosophy flow-on too!
