Since the spring of 2025, the Fondation Parc Oméga, in collaboration with Parc Oméga, has been actively participating in a conservation project dedicated to the Western Chorus Frog. Designated as a threatened species, the Western Chorus Frog is now protected by provincial and federal laws. However, its survival depends on much more than its status: it relies on concrete actions, such as those led by the Foundation and other partners.

Although it is very small, this frog plays a key role in the balance of the ecosystem. As an insectivore, it helps regulate insect populations, particularly mosquitoes and other small arthropods. Furthermore, it serves as prey for numerous predators, thereby contributing to the food chain.

Key Stages of the Project

In the spring, when these small frogs emerge from hibernation, they are entrusted to us to breed in a controlled environment. The adults stay briefly in our facilities while the female lays her eggs and the male fertilizes them, and they are then released back into their natural habitat. We then carefully raise the tadpoles until their metamorphosis. They are then released into local wetlands, where they help strengthen local populations and ensure the survival of this threatened species.

By making a DONATION, you contribute directly to the recovery of this species in the wild. Together, let’s create a world rich in biodiversity!
