Watson's Tree Frogs Reintroduced in East Gippsland
Description
Melbourne Zoo releases 1,200 Watsons tree frog tadpoles and 200 froglets into East Gippsland, marking a potential turning point for the endangered species. The breeding program aims to reintroduce the frogs to thirty new locations, following the Black Summer bushfires that destroyed eighty percent of their habitat. The Amphibian Bushfire Recovery Centre, funded by the feds, is supporting the effort to combat threats like chytrid fungus and habitat wreckers.
