Nannophryne apolobambica

Nannophryne apolobambica is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Nannophryne apolobambica faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and livestock grazing in its high-altitude Andean range. Climate change poses an additional critical threat, as rising temperatures force this cold-adapted species to retreat to increasingly limited suitable habitat at higher elevations. The species' extremely restricted range and small population size make it particularly vulnerable to local extinctions from disease outbreaks, including the devastating chytrid fungus that has decimated amphibian populations throughout the Andes.

Nannophryne apolobambica occurs in Bolivia, and Peru. Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.

The main threats to Nannophryne apolobambica are 1.1, 2.1, 2.3, and 5.4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
