Allobates caribe
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Allobates caribe faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted Venezuelan range. Mining activities and infrastructure development have fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic poison frog occurs. Climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns that could disrupt the species' breeding cycles and microhabitat requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests in the Venezuelan Andes, typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation near streams and seepages. It requires intact forest canopy and consistent moisture levels for successful reproduction and survival.
