GRAEME SAWYER - REGIONAL COORDINATOR (DARWIN)

Graeme played a key role in setting up FrogWatch in the Northern Territory in 1991 and led their cane toad project - the catalyst for a change of thinking about cane toad control in Northern Australia. He has been involved in cane toad research, including pioneering work on the use of traps, for more than 5 years and was a member of the National Cane Toad Taskforce.

He has been a central figure in Frogwatch’s planning and implementation of public awareness and education campaigns in relation to frogs and cane toads in the north. He has worked on national projects such as the WWF/ Rio Tinto frogs programme, and was the NT coordinator of FrogZone.

Graeme has a long history of working with community groups and education groups in relation to environmental education, delivering workshops and events across the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region of WA.

He has worked with Landcare and natural resource managers from councils and communities in relation to cane toad issues, presented at national environmental education conferences and conducted environmental education seminars for teachers and rangers.

Graeme directs on-ground operations for the Stop The Toad Foundation.

Even though Graeme has been involved with the Stop the Toad Foundation in various forms from its inception, he was officially elected to join the Board in 2012.
