Eleutherodactylus semipalmatus
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Eleutherodactylus semipalmatus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to agricultural expansion and urban development in its limited range in Haiti. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it particularly vulnerable to localized environmental changes and human activities. Deforestation for charcoal production and subsistence farming has fragmented the remaining forest patches where this endemic frog survives.
Habitat
This endemic Haitian frog inhabits montane forests and forest edges at moderate elevations. It requires humid microhabitats with adequate leaf litter and vegetation cover for breeding and shelter.
