Hyalinobatrachium ibama
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Hyalinobatrachium ibama faces significant pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its Atlantic Forest range in southeastern Brazil. Agricultural expansion, particularly cattle ranching and crop cultivation, has reduced the species' riparian forest habitat essential for breeding. Urban development and infrastructure projects further fragment remaining forest patches, isolating populations and reducing genetic diversity.
Habitat
This glass frog inhabits primary and secondary Atlantic Forest along streams and rivers in southeastern Brazil, particularly in riparian vegetation where it breeds on leaves overhanging water bodies. The species requires well-preserved forest canopy and clean flowing water for successful reproduction and larval development.
