Action for frogs in Seychelles
Seychelles is home to four different unique species of Sooglossid frogs, although
there are large gaps in our knowledge of these species. They are very tiny, and hard to
find. Nature Seychelles wants to initiate survey work to find out where
the frogs are, how many there are, and how they are faring on Mahe.
Ideally, surveys should be conducted in both the wet and dry seasons, to determine wet season hotspots and dry season refuges. Habitat preferences of the different species should be assessed, to help design a conservation strategy, with long-term monitoring and training of local staff.
