Conservationists are concerned Archey's frogs are under threat on the Coromandel Peninsula

Gold mining company Oceana Gold is drilling in areas where the endangered frog is found.
Coromandel Watchdog is leading the fight back against the mining company.
Coordinator Augusta Macassey-Pickard says residents in the Coromandel are largely opposed to any mining in the area.
She says the community hasn't been spoken to at all by the mining company or the Department of Conservation about this.
Macassey-Pickard says they will be holding a public meeting in Whangamata on Tuesday about the threats posed to the frogs.
