The Northern Corroboree Frog (Pseudophryne pengilleyi) is a small myobatrachid frog restricted to the Brindabella and Fiery Ranges of south-eastern Australia. It has rapidly declined in recent decades largely due to disease, caused by infection with amphibian chytrid fungus (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis). Population numbers are critically low, with two of the three Evolutionary Significant Units (ESU) within the species consisting of less than 200 mature adults. Immediate management objectives for this species include establishing robust insurance colonies, maintaining populations in the wild via translocation, and developing efficient offspring production and translocation methods.

Conservation breeding programs for the two smaller Brindabella Range ESUs were established close to twenty years ago with trial translocation programs underway for approximately ten years. An insurance population for the larger Fiery Range ESU has been established at Taronga Zoo since 2020 as an emergency response to the impact of the devastating 2019/20 bushfires on its remaining breeding populations. Translocations for this species have focused on maintaining viable populations of the species despite the ongoing presence of chytrid fungus. Experimental translocations currently include the release of eggs and frogs into artificial and natural pools at wild sites, investigating factors such as the effect of seasonal timing and the age of released frogs on post-release survival and reproductive success. Additionally, research is being undertaken on artificial reproductive technologies to increase the output of offspring for release and husbandry techniques to maximise the health of offspring being translocated.
