Elected representatives in government are in charge of the policy and funding that can make or break saving threatened species. Their decisions and actions matter.
Berowra has or used to have 29 threatened animals within its boundaries. One of them is me, the Green and Golden Bell Frog.
We took care to attach appropriate images that are as close to representative of each species as our resources and the availability of images allowed. However, we could not ensure perfect accuracy in every case. Some images show species that share the same genus but not at the species or subspecies level.

The Green and Golden Bell Frog is a large dull olive to bright emerald-green frog reaching 85 mm in length. The frog has a number of distinguishable features which aid its identification; the dorsum of the frog has large irregular blotches ranging from brown to rich golden-bronze and has a yellowish stripe running from behind the eye to the lower back which is bordered by a black stripe that can extend through the eye to the nostrils. The hind toes of the frog are almost fully webbed but the fingers of the front feet lack webbing. The frog also has a distinct tympanum.¹
