Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: It inhabits shallow, gentle streams and nearby swampy areas including peat swamps, very flat alluvial forests (both primary forest and mature secondary growth), and overgrown plantations. The eggs are laid in sandy streambeds but no nest is constructed (Kiew 1984c).
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The major threat to this species is deforestation. It is also collected for subsistence use and trade (Lim and Lim 1992; P. van Dijk pers. comm.), but most collection pressure is deflected from it by the sympatric occurrence of the larger and more common Limnonectes blythii.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It occurs in several protected areas, although more effective conservation of peat swamps and low alluvial rainforests is needed.
