Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors

provided by AmphibiaWeb articles
This species is listed as least concern because of its relatively wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. Though it occurs in protected areas, its forest habitat is receding due to subsistence agriculture, timber extraction, charcoal manufacture, and invasive spread of eucalyptus, livestock grazing and expanding human settlements (Raxworthy and Glaw 2008).
