Native frog recovery
The Native Frog Recovery Group was established in 1996 on completion of the first native frog recovery plan. This group consists of people with knowledge of the ecology and management needs of New Zealand's four native frog species, and guides the recovery of our native frogs through the provision of high-quality technical advice to management.
Recovery plans
The purpose of recovery plans is to aid the recovery of a species or group of species. Recovery plans focus on the goals and objectives of recovery management, guide DOC in its allocation of resources and are used to raise public awareness of the recovery process.
