Australia's Vanishing Frogs

Dear Earthwatcher,

 

Our scientists are the people who make Earthwatch great. But they need your help to continue their research.

 

Join Dr Steve Williams in QLD to help study the effects of climate change on our tropical forests.

 

Or in NSW, help Dr Peter Banks research one of Australia's most elusive yet charismatic water-loving mammals.

 

And for the family, there's the chance to join frog research in NSW with Dr Michael Mahony for either a 3 or 7 day team.

 

So email earth@earthwatch.org.au to join a project and meet the passionate people behind Earthwatch's conservation research.

 

We hope to see you in the field soon!

 

Best wishes,

Kayla Larson, Editor
