FrogID Week: Discovering Willoughby’s frogs

Celebrate FrogID Week with an evening exploring the fascinating world of frogs, from the calls we hear after rain to the science helping us understand and protect these remarkable animals.

Join Dr Jodi Rowley from the Australian Museum as she shares her knowledge of Australia’s frogs, their ecology, behaviour and conservation.

Discover why frogs call, how different species can be identified, the extraordinary diversity of Australian frogs and some of the challenges they face in a changing environment. Drawing on more than two decades of experience working with frogs, Jodi will provide insights into frog biology and conservation, and will introduce FrogID, the Australian Museum’s national citizen science project.

Learn how simply recording frog calls using the FrogID app can help scientists better understand where frog species occur and how their populations are changing.

Whether you’re a keen naturalist, a backyard wildlife enthusiast or simply curious about the frogs calling around your neighbourhood, this event is an opportunity to discover more about Australia’s frogs and how you can contribute to their conservation.
