The Booroolong frog was once deemed safe and secure, but in the past four decades the population of the endangered species has dropped below 5,000 across Australia. 

The native species was once a common sighting along the Great Dividing Range between Victoria and Queensland, but now only isolated pockets in the Southern and Central Tablelands of New South Wales remain.
