Paruwrobates andinus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Paruwrobates andinus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and mining activities in its restricted Andean range. The species' extremely limited distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes, while climate change poses additional risks through altered precipitation patterns and temperature shifts that could affect its specialized high-altitude habitat requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits high-altitude Andean environments, typically found in montane cloud forests and adjacent humid microhabitats between 2,000-3,500 meters elevation. It requires specific moisture conditions and vegetation cover characteristic of these specialized neotropical mountain ecosystems.
