Aromobates serranus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Aromobates serranus faces severe population decline due to habitat destruction from agricultural expansion and urban development in its restricted Venezuelan range. The species is particularly vulnerable to climate change effects on montane cloud forest ecosystems, which are experiencing altered precipitation patterns and temperature increases. Mining activities and infrastructure development have further fragmented the already limited suitable habitat available to this endemic poison frog.
Habitat
This species inhabits montane cloud forests and humid premontane forests in the Venezuelan Andes, typically at elevations between 1,200-2,000 meters. It requires areas with consistent moisture levels, dense vegetation cover, and suitable breeding sites near streams or temporary water bodies.
