Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Oophaga arborea faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development within its limited range in western Colombia. The species is further imperiled by its extremely restricted distribution, making populations highly vulnerable to local extinctions, and ongoing collection pressure for the illegal pet trade due to its striking coloration.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid lowland and premontane rainforests of the Pacific coastal region of western Colombia, typically found in the leaf litter and low vegetation of primary and secondary forest areas at elevations up to approximately 1,200 meters.
