Sloane's Champions: Saving Sloane's Froglet in NSW
Albury city
In NSW, Sloane’s froglet (Crinia sloanei) is found in only a few locations along the Murray River. These diminutive winter-breeding frogs persist in shallow vegetated wetlands and artificial waterbodies, such as dams, roadside swales, and even stormwater basins. Citizen scientists are helping to monitor the tiny Sloane’s froglet by visiting local wetlands, recording calling frogs and uploading call data through the Australian Museum's FrogID program.
