Eleutherodactylus junori
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.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane forests and cloud forests in the mountainous regions of Cuba, typically found in areas with high humidity and dense vegetation cover. It requires undisturbed forest environments with adequate leaf litter and moisture for breeding and foraging.
