About the Frogwatch Program
Welcome to the Alcoa Frog Watch web site 3.0!
The site has been designed to provide you with information on all aspects of Western Australian frogs.
The WA frog fauna is divided into three main regions based on the climate and the types of frogs found there – there is very little overlap between regions. The southwest region is divided into five divisions to help southwesterners find out about their local frogs. The site is dynamic, and we will keep adding to the frog database as new species are discovered and described and new information learned about WA frogs.
The Learn About Frogs section provides information on our public programme that involves Building Frog-friendly Gardens, the Tadpole Exchange programme, the CD of southwestern frog calls and other WA Museum publications about frogs.
We hope you enjoy experiencing the sights and sounds of WA frogs on our website, and your encounters with live frogs in your backyard and trips to the bush are also memorable. Importantly, we believe that by knowing and understanding frogs, people will become champions for frog conservation in our wonderful and diverse state of Western Australia.
