We have discovered that killing toads is not the best solution: not ethically, sustainably or logistically. It seems that Australia will never be free from the cane toad, there are just too many to deal with already. So what can we do?

One thing is for certain - the Australian nation needs to actively limit the spread of the cane toad. Exclusion methods, such as fencing, seem to be one of the best ways to do this.

We need to promote better biodiversity in our environments, particularly urban landscapes. To do this we suggest that the building of frog ponds will not only support native local frog populations, but will attract bugs, butterflies and other insects and birds as well. This would be a pleasing addition to any yard or park.

For a more biodiverse future, communities and the general public need to be aware of, and educated on, their native frog species so that there is no confusion between identifying frogs or toads. How can you help?
