Range and habitat

Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Breeding
Calling males and egg sites define most frog field work. A species known from one ridge is as narrow as it sounds.
Eggs and damp skin make amphibians quick to vanish from a drained wetland or a forest stripped of litter.
In crisis
The IUCN classifies this frog as endangered.
CITES lists this taxon on Appendix II. Confirm the current appendix on the CITES checklist.
Chytrid fungus, collection, and wet-forest loss are the usual pressures on frogs with a high threat category.
