Craugastor rhyacobatrachus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Craugastor rhyacobatrachus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development within its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable due to its restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements, making populations highly susceptible to local extinctions from environmental degradation and climate change impacts.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane cloud forests and humid premontane forests, typically found along rocky streams and in riparian vegetation at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires pristine forest environments with consistent moisture levels and clean water sources for breeding and development.
