The February 2009 bushfires in Victoria devastated many communities, and also had a profound impact on wildlife species. This research is aimed at measuring the impact of these fires on frogs in the Kinglake region. It will provide a range of national benefits, including a better understanding of the effects of wildfire on native species and their habitats, information to help plan conservation efforts for frogs, and a vital connection with local landowners; some of whom lost their homes in the fires but were still concerned about the wellbeing of frogs in the area. Australia is a fire-prone country, and this project will help develop responses to the threats posed by the expected increase in the frequency and intensity of fires in southern Australia.

2009年2月发生在维多利亚的森林大火摧毁了许多社区，也对野生动物物种产生了深远的影响。这项研究旨在测量这些火灾对金莱克地区青蛙的影响。它将提供一系列国家利益，包括更好地了解野火对本地物种及其栖息地的影响，帮助计划青蛙保护工作的信息，以及与当地土地所有者的重要联系;其中一些人在火灾中失去了家园，但仍然关心该地区青蛙的健康。澳大利亚是一个火灾多发国家，该项目将有助于制定应对措施，以应对澳大利亚南部火灾频率和强度预期增加所构成的威胁。
