EarlvilleQueensland4870Australiafrog conservation org specialising in rescue, rehab and disease surveillance
Created in 1998, our small group runs Australia's only dedicated rescue and rehab operation for frogs; this approach has allowed us to detect the presence of several new and unknown disease threats to Australia's frog AND cane toad populations.  We also engage in awareness/education and support for amphibian researchers.  Breeding is an intended activity for the future but we aren't getting enough support to begin this critical task.
 
Descriptions of the new disease problems we have uncovered are in our large website as well as other information, particularly focussed on the tropical Australian environment.
