This is the best summary I could come up with:


For the first time in five years, northern corroboree frogs have been spotted in Namadgi National Park by ACT government ecologists.

Ecologists have been releasing frogs and eggs into the park as part of a breeding program, but they had not been spotted in the wild since 2019.

She told ABC Radio Canberra the frogs were under pressure due to many issues including climate change, habitat loss and the invasive chytrid fungus.

"Way too often, climate change and human impact on the environment has resulted in us losing unique species permanently as they become extinct.

Ms Vassarotti said the government was working closely with research institutions in order to keep growing those populations of frogs.

She said improving the habitat of Namadgi National Park following the damage suffered during the 2019 and 2020 bushfire season was also a priority.
