A second batch of southern corroboree frogs has been released in Kosciuszko National Park as part of continued efforts to boost their number.

The southern corroboree frog has been under threat since the late 1990s.

It is listed as critically endangered due to a fatal disease caused by chytrid fungus, but is also impacted by feral animals and climate change.

The captive-bred frogs have been released into five “disease-free” enclosures in the park since 2013, to specifically protect them from various threats.
