Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Ecnomiohyla phantasmagoria faces severe threats from rapid deforestation and habitat fragmentation throughout its limited range in Central American cloud forests. Climate change poses an additional critical threat, as rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns degrade the specific microclimatic conditions this species requires for survival and reproduction.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This species inhabits pristine cloud forests and montane rainforests at elevations between 1,200-2,400 meters, requiring cool, humid conditions with persistent fog and mist. It depends on primary forest canopy and adjacent streams with specific temperature and moisture regimes.
