SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 31: Taronga Zoo Herpetofauna Supervisor Michael McFadden holds a Northern Corroboree frog in his hand at Taronga Zoo on March 31, 2021 in Sydney, Australia. The Northern Corroboree frog is one of Australia's most endangered species whose population in the wild was severely impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires. Taronga Zoo's new breeding program and purpose-built 'frog hotel' aims to ensure the survival of the species and ensure genetic diversity in Northern Corroboree populations in the wild. The Northern Corroboree frog has become a symbol of the pressures facing Australia's alpine environments from bushfires, feral pests and land degradation. (Photo by Jenny Evans/Getty Images)
