Frogs are excellent indicators of waterway and wetland health, but they are highly susceptible to environmental change. Anke-Maria, ACT Frogwatch Coordinator, will describe way to better manage, improve and create frog-friendly habitats. Could we entice frogs into our gardens?
Abstract
Anke-Maria coordinates the Frogwatch census every October. Frogs are highly susceptible to environmental change, and their decline or loss is a major threat to biodiversity. Monitoring local frog populations and their habitat is vital as they serve as excellent indicators of waterway and wetland health because frogs are highly susceptible to environmental changes. It also creates a better understanding on how to best manage, improve and create frog-friendly habitat in our increasingly urbanised landscape. Anke-Maria will introduce some of our local frogs and suggest ways we can entice them into our gardens.
