Project 3.3 Factsheet: Targeted surveys for missing and endangered rainforest frogs in ecotonal areas, and assessment of whether populations are recovering from disease

This project will survey dry forest sites that border rainforest in the Wet Tropics and Eungella regions for missing and endangered frogs and other vertebrates. 

This project will also:
• Determine if and how threatened frogs are recolonising upland rainforest sites where they once occurred
• Determine if the few minute populations of Northern Tinker-Frog (Taudactylus rheophilus) recorded after disease outbreaks have persisted
• Provide management recommendations and a list of critical dry forest refuges for critically endangered rainforest frogs, and areas of importance for other vertebrate species.
