Frog Find

Frogs need our help! Following bushfires, floods and a host of other threats including water pollution and disease, our frogs really have their back against the wall.

Frog Find uses frog sounds recorded from streams, ponds and wetlands to work out who is calling where. We have put recorders in places where frogs were historically detected and new places where we might expect to find them. Now we need your ears to help us in this detective work!

In just 30 seconds you can tell us whether there is a threatened frog calling at one of our sites! And you don’t need to be an expert – we will help you along the way. Thanks to the help of local community groups we have been able to increase our monitoring programs to include areas in and around national parks and even right in people’s backyards!

Frog Find has been developed by the Conservation Science Research Group at the University of Newcastle, working to preserve frog populations now and into the future. Information gathered from Frog Find will help us identify immediate threats to frog survival and how populations respond to these threats. This will help us shape conservation efforts. Frog Find is supported by the NSW Government through a partnership between the Saving our Species program and the Environmental Trust.
