Abstract

Global species diversity continues to decline and organizations such as the United Nations have signed several biodiversity contracts to protect and enhance species diversity. The enrichment of species diversity can maintain or enhance stability, sustainability and functionality of ecosystems. Frogs are the most abundant and environmentally sensitive amphibians, and are used as an important indicator of regional and global ecological performance, so it is important to increase the diversity and number of frog species. The current research on frog ecological park design characteristics needs to be further deepened and a relatively comprehensive summary is needed. Through the analysis of frog habitat preference, biological research, wetland park design and other related literature, this study conclude that the characteristics of ecological wetland parks suitable for frog habitat should have a moderate scale, coherent habitat, reasonable traffic roads, a diverse waterfront, suitable waterfront slope and pool depth, stable water source, low salinity, low pollution water quality and suitable plant mix for frog survival. Taking the species enhancement of endangered species of Growling Grass Frog in Melbourne, Australia, as an example, the landscape design of Galada Avenue Reserve is suitable for the habitat of this species, specifically giving the design to meet foraging, activity, protection and the breeding conditions of this species, forming a special ecological wetland park suitable for the survival activities of this species. It will create a suitable habitat for the roaring grass frog, and protect and gradually restore the population of the species to a balanced state. The reserve will serve as a model for local endangered amphibian conservation parks and a reference for other regional frog conservation parks and ecosystem strengthening through species diversity enhancement.
