Hylodes glaber
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Hylodes glaber faces severe threats from habitat destruction in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, one of the world's most endangered biomes. Deforestation for agriculture, urban expansion, and infrastructure development has fragmented the species' already limited range. Water pollution from agricultural runoff and urban waste degrades the pristine stream environments essential for this frog's survival and reproduction.
Habitat
This species inhabits rocky streams and adjacent riparian forests within Brazil's Atlantic Forest biome. It requires clean, fast-flowing water with rocky substrates for breeding and forested areas with high humidity levels.
