Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Colostethus latinasus faces severe threats from habitat destruction due to deforestation, agricultural expansion, and urban development within its limited range. The species is particularly vulnerable to water pollution and climate change impacts that alter the delicate moisture and temperature conditions required for its survival and reproduction.
Habitat
This species inhabits humid montane forests and cloud forests at elevations between 1,500-2,500 meters, particularly areas near streams, seepages, and other freshwater sources. It requires pristine forest environments with consistent moisture levels and stable microclimatic conditions.
