Boana claresignata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Boana claresignata faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted range. The species is particularly vulnerable to water pollution and sedimentation affecting its breeding pools, while climate change threatens to alter precipitation patterns critical for reproduction. Chytrid fungal disease poses an additional emerging threat to remaining populations.
Habitat
This species inhabits Atlantic Forest remnants in southeastern Brazil, specifically requiring pristine forest streams and temporary pools for breeding. It depends on dense canopy cover and clean water sources within primary and well-preserved secondary forest environments.
