Eleutherodactylus junori

Declining

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Eleutherodactylus junori faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited Cuban range. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to local environmental changes and human activities. Invasive species and climate-induced changes to its montane forest habitat further compound the pressures on this endemic frog's survival.

Threat summary
