National Conference of Frog Groups 2004
© Frogs Australia Network Inc
The Frogs Australia Network was created from a legacy left by the WWF-Australia Frogs! Program and was seeded by Rio Tinto funding and WWF-Australia resources. The Frogs Australia Network concept was developed over a number of years and brought to life through a series of WWF Frogs! National Conferences of Frog Groups held between 2001-2004, involving community groups, scientists, frog experts and related organisations. The network began taking shape in its current form at the 2004 National Conference of Frog Groups.
The WWF-Australia Frogs! Program was a national conservation program managed by WWF-Australia in partnership with the Rio Tinto Group. The program was established to demonstrate a joint commitment to the conservation of frogs and their habitats in recognition of the vital role that frogs play in freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity.
The main aims of the program were to support research, community outreach and education initiatives and facilitate a cohesive national network that strategically links the aims, activities and expertise of individual scientists, educators and regional community groups. The program reached a successful conclusion in September 2004.
