Why are Bribie’s wetlands so important for threatened frogs?

Join frog scientist Harry Hines as he reveals the secrets of Bribie’s endangered amphibians and the fragile ecosystems they rely on.Bribie Island is home to more than 20 species of frogs that help signal the health of our wetlands. Join Senior Conservation Officer Harry Hines from Queensland’s Threatened Species Unit as he introduces some of Bribie’s at-risk residents, including the Wallum Rocketfrog, Wallum Froglet, and Wallum Sedgefrog. These tiny amphibians are specially adapted to life in the island’s low-nutrient, highly acidic wallum wetlands—which must remain healthy to ensure frog survival. Learn why protecting these unique wetlands matters, and what needs to be done to ensure Yarun remains a safe haven for Queensland’s coastal frogs..
