Wetter weather over summer leads to a local baby boom for a critically endangered frog species in northern New South Wales

Dr Rowley said the Glen Innes region was one of the best-studied in Australia, thanks to the university's historic research."What we found is a complete change in the frogs that used to occur here," Dr Rowley said.

Dr Rowley said there were more than 240 species of frogs in Australia and new ones were still being discovered. "It's been really amazing how much people have been ready to join the fight to save frogs, from landholders on enormous properties, from rangers out in the middle of nowhere, to people driving around the country in every walk of life recording frogs and making a huge contribution to Australia's understanding of our amazing frog species," Dr Rowley said.
