Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Pristimantis tribulosus faces severe threats from habitat destruction and fragmentation due to agricultural expansion, logging, and human settlement in its limited montane range. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and population decline.
Habitat
This species inhabits cloud forests and montane humid forests at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters in the Andes. It is typically found in primary forest with dense canopy cover, leaf litter, and high humidity levels characteristic of tropical montane cloud forest ecosystems.
