Well, maybe not a tonne, but hundreds of endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog tadpoles are growing in select ponds at Sydney Olympic Park! 

Sydney Olympic Park’s wetlands, forests and grasslands are home to over 250 native species including many rare and threatened animals and plants. How do we find out how they are faring in the Park, and whether our management practices are having a positive impact?

The endangered Green and Golden Bell Frog has lost over 90% of their original range with only a few populations left scattered along the east coast of Australia.

All over Sydney Olympic Park you can find spider webs with leaves hanging in them. These carefully engineered homes belong to Leaf-curling Spiders.
