Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species was found in disturbed, primary broad-leaved evergreen forest (with Camellia and Litsea species dominating), on wet mossy rocks or small branches overhanging streams, or in small, rocky-bottomed forest pools. Its adaptability to secondary habitats is not known, but it is unlikely to thrive in heavily altered landscapes. It is presumed to breed by larval development.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threats to this species include clearance of forest for shifting agriculture and rice cultivation (Tordoff 2002). Local people within its range hunt other species of amphibians for food, and so this might be a threat, although this species is not large and so might not actually be targeted for food, unlike the larger but otherwise similar Rana chloronota.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: The area where this species occurs is within a proposed nature reserve.
