WorksheetsFrog Wetlands Exam Question Breakdown
Total questions: 12
Worksheet time: 24mins
A species of native Australian frog inhabits wetlands and surrounding woodlands in New South Wales. At present, the entire population of these frogs in the wild is estimated to be fewer than 50 individuals. The wild population has declined by more than 99 per cent since 1988. There are several populations in captivity.
Identify an appropriate conservation category for this frog species based on the classification conditions outlined by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. Explain why this classification would be given. 2 marks
