Bolitoglossa longissima

Bolitoglossa longissima is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Bolitoglossa longissima faces severe threats from deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central America. The species' dependence on intact cloud forest ecosystems makes it particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation, as these salamanders require specific moisture and temperature conditions that are disrupted by forest clearing. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate microclimatic conditions of montane forests, potentially pushing suitable habitat to higher elevations where less area is available.

Bolitoglossa longissima occurs in Honduras. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.

The main threats to Bolitoglossa longissima are 11.1, 2.1, 5.1, and 5.1.1. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
