Save the Spotted Tree Frog

Like most Australian and international frogs, the Spotted Tree Frog is threatened by the disease, Chytridiomycosis. This is caused by the rapidly spreading Amphibian Chytrid Fungus. Populations of the Spotted Tree Frog are also affected by trout and disturbance to the habitat.

Zoos Victoria is playing a major role in the Spotted Tree Frog Recovery Program. We maintain a population in captivity and help monitor the existing populations. This includes re-introducing frogs into the wild.

Zoos Victoria is also researching the role of trout and the Amphibian Chytrid Fungus in the declining numbers.

Save the frogs!
