They are primarily found in northeastern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland, inhabiting the headwaters of rainforest streams, where it lays its eggs in nests in the ground.[2]
This species demonstrates unique reproductive behaviors, including the formation of jelly-like nests with the jelly providing a safe space for embryos to develop in.[2]
It is threatened by habitat loss and by infection of the amphibian chytrid fungus. Loveridge's frog is named in honour of British herpetologist, Arthur Loveridge.

Lutz's poison frog is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae found in Bolivia and Brazil. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, moist savanna, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, rivers, intermittent freshwater marshes, and rocky areas. Reproduction occurs in rocky pools and streams. Eggs are laid under a rock and the male transports tadpoles to wet trenches or small rocky pools. It is threatened by habitat loss.

The sphagnum frog is a frog in the family Limnodynastidae. The species was first described by John Alexander Moore in 1958. Its natural habitats are subtropical moist upland forests, subtropical moist montane forests, and streams. They vary in colour from shades of yellow and orange. They usually have irregular black spots that range all over their body. Their main source of diet comes from small insects, usually ants. This species has been classified as endangered in 2004. It is threatened by climate change pathogens and habitat loss. It is endemic to Australia. There have been other recommendations by scientist and other groups made to protect this species. Some of these recommendations are exclude logging around breeding areas, prevent pollution of streams and wetlands, and maintain vegetation and deep-leaf litter around streams.
