Really interesting story, thanks.
FYI - link to nzfrogs at the end of the article is broken, I think you need .org in there as well.

Well done Al. I believe there were Hochstetter’s frogs deep in the bush on my parents property near Waipu, when i was a child. I never saw them and i hope they are still there. At one stage there was a plan for SH1 to go through their habitat to bypass the Brynderwyn hills.

September 27th to October 3rd 2009 is Frog week.
There are many organizations who are involved in the study and protection of New Zealand’s native frogs. This story could be could be revisited again then to see progress and to highlight the plight of this rare frog.

Great work. Al, in bringing this case into the public eye and keeping the focus on DOC and EBOP to protect the frogs and monitor the habitat.
