​​About Litoria myola 
​(The Kuranda Tree Frog)

The Kuranda Tree Frog breeds on small streams in the bioregion of the Wet Tropics World Heritage listed rainforest in north Queensland, Australia. It is restricted to the urban stream of Kuranda  and the small tributaries running to the Barron River in the Myola Valley, west of Kuranda.
The conservation status for Litoria myola, under the classification of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is Critically Endangered and also under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The Kuranda tree frog's critically endangered classification is due to the very small total population <700) and fragmented distribution as well as a small number of breeding sites of which thirteen are known. Only a small portion of the habitat is protected in conservation areas, the rest is on private land. Therefore, successful conservation of this species depends on the Frog Friendly  activities within the community in the Kuranda region.
See also the Frog Action Plan 2018-2023.
The Common Mist Frog (Litoria rheccola) and the Lacelid Frog (Litoria dayi), otherwise known as Lace-eyed Tree Frog (Nyctimystes dayi), both listed Endangered under the IUCN and the EPBC Act, share the Kuranda Tree Frogs habitat. However, the Common Mist frogs have not been recorded here in the last decade. 
​
There are only two further classification listings after critically endangered; Extinct in the Wild and Extinct (find out more).
