Frogs are disappearing. Declines in frog numbers have been reported around the world and Brisbane is no exception.

Would you like a frog haven in your backyard?

It’s not too difficult to create conditions to attract frogs. They need insects to eat, humidity, hiding places and a suitable place to breed.

And there are plenty of resources available to help you!

The RSPCA has some great tips for frog-friendly habitats. Head to their website to learn more.

The Queensland Frog Society website also offers comprehensive advice.
