Chytrid

Why
should you care about chytrid in the suburbs?
8A widespread disease can
wipe out frogs in the bush because there is no-one there constantly
to monitor, collect, and treat them.
8Residents in the suburbs can control what
happens on their properties; they find and turn in
sick frogs as soon as they become ill - frogs
which are treatable and recoverable.
8Some residents even breed bugs and
provide antifungal baths (under our supervision) to ensure
frogs on their properties will survive.
8Don’t dismiss frog survival
in the suburbs - these people want to help and need
guidance.
