Eleutherodactylus poolei
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eleutherodactylus poolei faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range in the Dominican Republic. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Invasive species and potential climate change impacts on montane forest ecosystems further compound the risks to this endemic frog's survival.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests in the Dominican Republic, typically found in humid forest environments at higher elevations. It requires intact forest canopy and leaf litter for breeding and foraging activities.
