Allobates chalcopis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Allobates chalcopis faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and mining activities in its limited range. The species' restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment, while climate change poses additional risks to its specialized microhabitat requirements.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical montane cloud forests and humid premontane forests at elevations between 1,000-2,000 meters in the Andes. It requires areas with dense leaf litter, fallen logs, and high humidity levels typical of undisturbed cloud forest ecosystems.
