Leptobrachella palmata
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Leptobrachella palmata faces severe threats from rapid habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development across its limited range in Southeast Asia. The species' dependence on pristine forest streams and its restricted distribution make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment.
Habitat
This species inhabits pristine montane and submontane tropical forests, typically found near clear, fast-flowing streams and rocky areas at elevations between 200-1,500 meters. It requires undisturbed forest canopy cover and clean water sources for breeding and larval development.
