Taronga Zoo is re-establishing Australia’s Booroolong frog population with a $178,000 (US$127, 000) breeding facility funded by the Australian New South Wales (NSW) government.
Booroolong frogs are a critically endangered species, native to the New South Wales (NSW) Northern Tablelands, that were almost wiped out by a severe drought in 2019 which dried up their stream habitats.
