Species Profile
Species profile data sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
Rana chevronta faces severe population declines due to habitat destruction from deforestation and agricultural expansion across its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to water pollution and climate-induced changes to precipitation patterns that affect its breeding habitats. Disease outbreaks, including chytrid fungus infections that have devastated amphibian populations globally, pose additional critical threats to remaining populations.
Key Facts
Habitat & Distribution
This species inhabits tropical montane forests and associated freshwater streams and pools at elevations between 800-2000 meters. It requires clean, well-oxygenated water bodies within primary or secondary forest cover for successful reproduction and larval development.
