Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pristimantis jaimei faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and human settlement in its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized threats, while climate change poses additional risks to its specialized montane habitat requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits cloud forests and montane humid forests at elevations between 1,800-2,400 meters in the Andes. It is typically found in primary forest with dense vegetation and high humidity levels characteristic of upper montane ecosystems.
