World Frog Day Build a 'Frog Hotel' Competition BUILD YOUR OWN 'FROG HOTEL' FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN A VIP TOUR OF THE FROG LAB WORLD FROG DAY Celebrated annually on March 20th, World Frog Day aims to raise awareness about the significance of Frog species worldwide, their crucial contribution to the ecosystem, and how we can protect them for the future. THE IMPORTANCE OF FROGS With over 7,000 species worldwide, Australia is home to over 240 unique Frog species, many found only in this country. While some species thrive, others face alarming declines, with four already extinct since the 1980's. Frogs, sensitive to environmental shifts, serve as vital indicators of ecosystem health, their disappearance signals serious environmental issues. As Frogs vanish, ecosystems suffer irreversible changes, disrupting the delicate balance of life. The loss of one species ripples through ecosystems, impacting both Frogs and the various animals that rely on them for their own survival.
