About Us- An Introduction

The STOP THE TOAD FOUNDATION is a not-for-profit, non-government organisation incorporated in Western Australia in October 2005.

The Foundation’s main purpose is to prevent cane toads from invading Western Australia. It undertakes on-ground cane toad control work and seeks to support the independent activity of other concerned groups working to mutually agreed strategic purposes, operations and procedures. It tries to ensure that all efforts against cane toads are cooperative, integrated, strategic, cost-effective and safe for participants.

The Foundation secured $500,000 of WA Government funding in 2005 to support cane toad control in the Northern Territory, and within Western Australia in the event that populations of toads do establish in this state.

A further $100,000 was given to the foundation by the WA Government to assist with their annual Toad Muster in October 2007. The board of the Foundation aims to raise further funds to maximize on-ground action along the length of the cane toad front.

The strategic focus of the Foundation is to alert all Western Australians to the potential impacts of the cane toad and engage everybody in the fight to protect Western Australia from the toad’s imminent invasion.
