Junlian Odorous Frog

Odorrana junlianensis

Unknown

Overview

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

The Junlian Odorous Frog faces severe pressure from rapid habitat destruction across its limited range in southwestern China. Agricultural expansion and infrastructure development have fragmented the montane forest streams essential for its reproduction, while pollution from agricultural runoff degrades water quality in remaining breeding sites. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering precipitation patterns and stream flow regimes that this specialized riparian species depends upon.

Threat summary

Habitat

This species inhabits montane forest streams and adjacent riparian vegetation in the subtropical mountains of Yunnan Province, China. It requires clean, flowing water with rocky substrates for breeding and dense forest canopy cover to maintain suitable microclimate conditions.
