Bisle Frog Watch: Long-term Amphibian Observations from the Western Ghats, India

The records were collected as part of Bisle Frog Watch, an annual citizen science program initiated in 2012 by Bisle Kappe Team and Gubbi Labs. Each year during the southwest monsoon, participants - including students, researchers, and naturalists - document amphibians over a three-day field workshop through direct sightings and acoustic identification.

The compiled checklists represent species observed or heard during these workshops. Records are validated by expert facilitators and reflect group consensus. To date, the initiative has recorded about 40 amphibian species, including several endemic species and first distributional records for the region.
