Declining
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Petropedetes perreti faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and human settlement development within its limited range in West African forests. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and fragmentation of its forest ecosystem.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical moist forests near rocky streams and cascades in mountainous regions of West Africa. It is typically found in primary and secondary forest environments with permanent water sources and rocky substrates essential for breeding.
