Citizen Scientists Huge Help In Creating Australian Frog Atlas: Reveals True Distributions Of Our Frogs

Citizen Scientists Huge Help In Creating Australian Frog Atlas Reveals True Distributions Of Our Frogs
Australia’s frogs deserve better distribution maps, and thanks to tens of thousands of people across Australia recording calling frogs with their phones, we now have the occurrence data to do this. Since the launch of the Australian Museum’s FrogID project in 2017, there has been a rapid increase in frog occurrence records in Australia. FrogID is a free, app-based citizen science project and in just four and a half years, over 650,000 records have been gathered by the project – which is more than half the number of the frog records we had for Australia prior.
