Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Centrolene robledoi faces significant pressure from habitat destruction as cloud forests in its limited range are cleared for agriculture and cattle ranching. The species' dependence on pristine stream environments makes it particularly vulnerable to water pollution from agricultural runoff and sedimentation. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions required by this high-altitude glass frog.

Threat summary

Habitat

This glass frog inhabits cloud forests and montane rainforests at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters in the Cordillera Oriental of Colombia. It requires pristine streams with clean, fast-flowing water surrounded by dense vegetation for breeding and larval development.
