Notice board:

the Adopt-a-frog campaign

We still need to raise $120,000 and have received the assistance of a local PR firm to raise support in a more exciting way. Thus, the disease free, no maintenance frog that you can adopt for $5. These cards (with some educational info as well) are available from the following businesses in Cairns:

The Green House Environment Shop, Spence St
Enviromart, Aumuller St
Trinity Beach Bar, Grill and Convenience, on the beach
gift shop at the Flecker Botanic Gardens

If you have a business and would like to help us by having some adopt-a-frog cards available, please ring or email us. You don't have to be in Cairns to participate - we can ship them to anywhere in Australia.

July 8th: Many gracious thanks to the Lions Club of Cairns
who have made a very generous donation to help keep us going! Your support and confidence is greatly appreciated!

July 8th: Regardless of any media coverage you have seen recently, if you find a sick or injured frog, you should still CONTACT US. In most cases, we are still taking in these frogs ourselves although we need to raise a lot more money to cover care costs. Please do NOT phone your local wildlife rescue organisation. These animals require special handling, isolation, and intensive disinfection procedures involving very expensive chemicals. Wildlife carers are not setup to identify or handle the diseases we're seeing in this region's frogs. Don't forget to ALWAYS use gloves or a plastic bag over your hands to pick up frogs.

Please note: if you are outside FNQ and are contacting us to do a long-distance diagnosis, please refer to our Symptoms of a sick frog page before you pick up that phone!

Do you have a link to us from your website or include our web address in your group's newsletter? Please check what url you are using for us. Several sites and publications have recently listed our web address as: www.fdrproject.org
This is an OLD address and is about to expire.
Our CORRECT web address is: www.fdrproject.org.au
Please update your links so that visitors can still reach our site!

Have you sent us an email or snail mail that bounced?
Do you have our correct details?

We relocated before Christmas and everything changed.
We are also forced to change our email address regularly because of the volume of nasty spam that bombards us as soon as our address has started circulating for awhile. Visit our Contact page for all the new details.

Are you receiving nuisance emails that have our domain name as the sender? We can assure you, they are not from us. Now that we have a broadband account, all emails from our organisation will be from the Westnet domain. Any email you receive with our fdrproject.org or fdrproject.org.au domain has been "spoofed" by one of those rotten, malicious hackers out there who have nothing better to do with their talents than cost others time and money!
