We make the choice to live in or visit this amazing part of Australia for many reasons. Why are you here? Chances are the lush tropical rainforest environment is at least part of the reason. We know that rainforest is not just this wet green forested area; it is made up of sparkling streams, secret waterfalls, towering trees, tiny treasures and a rich variety of animals and plants of all shapes and sizes, ourselves included. This is our Kuranda neighbourhood.

The aim of this monitoring project is to mitigate degrading frog environments. Of course, frogs are just the iconic species that indicate unseen environmental decline that can eventually lead to decline in other species, including human health. In October 2012, Kuranda Envirocare received funding from The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund (MBZ) to monitor [link to About the project/monitoring page?] the Critically endangered Kuranda Tree Frog (Litoria myola) and other endangered frogs in the Kuranda habitat.
