Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Craugastor coffeus faces severe threats primarily from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and deforestation in its limited montane range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes, with populations declining due to habitat fragmentation and degradation of cloud forest ecosystems.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid pine-oak forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters in Central America. It is typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation within these cool, moist highland forest environments.
