Territory researchers are trying new breeding techniques to boost Australia's threatened northern corroboree frog.

About 30 frogs will be released into semi-wild enclosures at Tidbinbilla this month, providing more natural conditions for the frogs to be bred in.

The ACT leads Australia's main captive breeding program for the tiny black and yellow frogs at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, accounting for 90 per cent of the captive population.

ACT government senior ecologist Dr Murray Evans said one of the main objectives was to breed frogs which can be released back into the wild.
