Heinrich's wart frog

Limnonectes heinrichi

Unknown

Overview

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

Heinrich's wart frog faces severe pressure from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range in Borneo's lowland and hill forests. Palm oil plantations and logging operations have fragmented its habitat, while water pollution from agricultural runoff degrades the pristine stream environments essential for its reproduction. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized habitat destruction.

Threat summary

Habitat

Heinrich's wart frog inhabits primary and secondary lowland and hill forests of Borneo, typically found near clear, fast-flowing streams and rocky areas. The species requires pristine aquatic environments for breeding and is closely associated with undisturbed forest canopy cover.
