Atlantihyla panchoi
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Atlantihyla panchoi faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to urban development and agricultural expansion across its extremely limited range in the Atlantic Forest. The species is particularly vulnerable to water pollution and sedimentation affecting its breeding streams, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt its reproductive cycle.
Habitat
This critically endangered frog inhabits pristine Atlantic Forest streams and adjacent riparian vegetation in southeastern Brazil. It requires clean, fast-flowing water for breeding and depends on intact forest canopy for maintaining proper humidity and temperature conditions.
