Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Cardioglossa manengouba faces severe threats primarily from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion, logging, and human settlement in its restricted montane forest range on Mount Manengouba in Cameroon. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local environmental changes and human activities that fragment or degrade its specialized high-altitude forest habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests on Mount Manengouba in Cameroon, typically found in humid forest environments at elevations between 1,400-2,000 meters. It occupies leaf litter and low vegetation in primary and secondary montane forest habitats.
