About this APK

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

FrogID is Australia’s first national citizen science frog call identification initiative – a project led by the Australian Museum in partnership with Australia’s leading natural history museums. Use the App to create a free profile and record frog calls. You can choose to match your calls to the frog calls on the app, then submit your recordings to the Australian Museum frog experts to listen and verify the species. With your help we can put more frog species on the map and track changes to their species and habitats over time, and therefore monitor the health of our ecosystems.
