Western Cape Leopard Toad Conservation Committee was formed in 2007 by concerned scientists, conservationists and gov. representatives. Their focus is to to ensure factual information is distributed to the public and to oversee all activities associated with management of the species – research, monitoring and volunteer work. In the less developed days of the Southern Peninsula, a network of waterways provided a thriving habitat for the handsome toads. Increasing hard development and especially roads and boundary walls make it difficult for the toads, which are now endangered, to move from their summer homes in compost heaps, drain pipes and damps places in gardens to the rivers and wetlands where they breed in winter. In spite of their difficulties that they have surviving in our city. They are valuable natural `pest controllers’ and eat crickets, moths and worms. Their presence is an indication of a relatively pollution free environment. Leopard toads are most vulnerable in August when they cross busy roads to mate in local rivers and wetlands. During the breeding season when toads are most active, concerned citizens such as the Toad Nuts help with data collection, monitor toad traffic, and assist the toads across busy roads throughout the Southern Suburbs.
