Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Cochranella euhystrix faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation and agricultural expansion throughout its limited range in Central American cloud forests. The species' restricted distribution and specialized habitat requirements make it extremely vulnerable to environmental changes and human encroachment. Climate change poses an additional threat by altering the delicate moisture and temperature conditions essential for this glass frog's survival.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This glass frog inhabits montane cloud forests and humid premontane forests, typically found near streams and rivers at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. The species requires pristine forest environments with consistent moisture levels and clean water sources for breeding.
