Aromobates duranti
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aromobates duranti faces severe threats from ongoing habitat destruction in Venezuela's coastal mountain ranges, where deforestation and agricultural expansion have fragmented its already limited cloud forest habitat. The species' extremely restricted range makes it particularly vulnerable to local environmental changes, while climate change poses additional risks by altering the moisture-dependent conditions essential for this poison dart frog's survival.
Habitat
This poison dart frog inhabits cloud forests and humid montane forests in the coastal mountain ranges of northern Venezuela. It requires areas with high humidity, dense vegetation, and specific microhabitat conditions typical of tropical montane cloud forest ecosystems.
