Oreolalax liangbeiensis

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Oreolalax liangbeiensis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and infrastructure development in its limited montane range. The species' extremely restricted distribution in the mountains of Sichuan Province makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks to its specialized high-altitude breeding habitats.
