Arthroleptis krokosua
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Arthroleptis krokosua faces severe threats primarily from rapid deforestation and habitat fragmentation in its limited range within Ghana's Eastern Region. The species' extremely restricted distribution makes it highly vulnerable to local extinctions from mining activities, agricultural expansion, and urban development that continue to degrade its forest habitat.
Habitat
This species inhabits tropical moist lowland and submontane forests in the Eastern Region of Ghana, typically found in leaf litter and low vegetation of primary and secondary forest areas. It occurs at elevations ranging from approximately 200 to 800 meters in the forest zone of the Volta Region.
