Species: Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree)
According to Australia Post: "This large definitive stamp features the Southern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne corroboree). This small, brightly coloured amphibian is one of the world’s rarest frogs and is found only in a small area of Mt Kosciuszko National Park in the southern part of New South Wales. Numbers of this tiny frog have declined dramatically because of the species’ susceptibility to the introduced amphibian chytrid fungus, for which scientists are searching for a cure. Although this frog is perilously close to extinction in the wild, captive breeding colonies are being successfully maintained at the Amphibian Research Centre (Victoria), Taronga Zoo (New South Wales), Melbourne Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary (Victoria). A program to maintain wild populations of this species is being undertaken by the NSW Office of Environment. The stamp also commemorates that centenary of the Taronga Zoo, NSW, which has breeding programs for this rare frog."

Set: Gardening (frog in stamps titled "Nest Box" and "Vegetable Garden")
From Australia Post: The “In the Garden” stamp issue presents a sustainable garden scene. It is set within a fictitious Australian suburb in a temperate climate. The garden includes perennial native trees, shrubs and groundcover plants that don’t require a lot of water and which attract helpful animal species to the garden, including pollinating birds and insects.
The garden is a thriving and inviting space where the whole family has fun with a range of sustainable gardening projects, including building and tending to a worm farm, rainwater garden, nest box and veggie patch, as well as going bird watching, hunting for worms, investigating the pond, and more.

Set: Citizen Science
From Australia Post:
"Citizen science involves public participation and collaboration in scientific research with the aim of increasing scientific knowledge. To be involved in citizen science you don’t need a science degree – anyone can be a citizen scientist!
This stamp issue features four recent citizen science projects from Australia. QuestaGame helps save biodiversity with an innovative gaming application, with players recording species while having fun competing and earning rewards. The Ngukurr Wi Stadi Bla Kantri (We Study the Country) biodiversity project is a cross-cultural collaboration between the remote Indigenous community of Ngukurr in south-east Arnhem Land and Macquarie University. The Butterflies Australia conservation and research project provides citizen scientists with all the information they need to record butterfly sightings. Participants in Zika Mozzie Seeker collect mosquito eggs and send them to Queensland’s Metro South Health for counting and screening for Zika mozzie “DNA” by Queensland Health’s Forensic and Scientific Services."

Set: Wildlife Recovery
Species: Davies’ Tree Frog (Litoria daviesae)
From Australia Post:
"From August 2019, the impact of climate change was on show in Australia. A long season of intense and extensive bushfires began to ravage Queensland and New South Wales, and then fires spread to the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and South Australia. Eventually, every state and territory had some level of bushfire impact. Some 12 million hectares burned across town, rural and remote areas, including in bushland and protected areas.
The bushfires were responsible for the conservatively estimated loss of 1.25 billion animals, bringing many native animal and plant species ever closer to the brink of extinction. Immediately in the wake of the fires, conservationists, scientists, government agencies, land managers, wildlife rescue and rehabilitation groups, and individual carers galvanised into action to rescue and rehabilitate animals. They quickly put provisions in place to support the recovery of wildlife, including triage centres, evacuations, appropriate supplementary food and water drops, feral predator controls, and fencing of remnant vegetation. Data collection and monitoring was also increased to determine the severity of impact on species. It is a long road to recovery for many animals, but the stories of success provide a source of optimism for the survival of our much-loved wildlife.
The stamps in this issue show six animal species that the government’s Wildlife and Threatened Species Bushfire Recovery Expert Panel identified for immediate conservation management, in the wake of the fires. The stamp issue is also this year’s release for Stamp Collecting Month.
