Craugastor fecundus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Craugastor fecundus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to environmental changes affecting its specialized breeding habitats, with small population sizes making it susceptible to local extinctions from disease outbreaks and climate-related impacts.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters in Central America. It requires areas with consistent moisture levels and dense vegetation cover, particularly favoring leaf litter and understory microhabitats near streams and seepages.
