Bokermannohyla ravida

Declining

Overview

Bokermannohyla ravida is a species of frogs in the family Hylidae.

Bokermannohyla ravida faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development within its extremely limited range in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil. The species' dependence on pristine forest streams makes it particularly vulnerable to water pollution from agricultural runoff and sedimentation. Climate change poses an additional threat through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the delicate hydrological conditions required for breeding.

Threat summary

Habitat

This critically endangered treefrog inhabits pristine Atlantic Forest streams and adjacent riparian vegetation in southeastern Brazil. The species requires clean, fast-flowing water with rocky substrates for breeding and depends on intact forest canopy for shelter and foraging.
