Climate change puts additional pressure on vulnerable frogs

Already devastated by a fungus made worse by changing temperatures, Australia's frogs are at risk because of water availability and lack of refuge

Australia's frog species, already threatened by habitat destruction and disease, are being put under extra pressure by shifting rainfall and rising temperatures from climate change.

Some of Australia's leading frog experts are worried that serious impacts could be unfolding out of sight, with one saying climate change could push certain species to extinction before they are documented by science.
