due ranching and wood logging. Habitat loss for agriculture, usually for the production of sugarcane, is another huge threat to tree frogs in the region. Another threat to their populations comes from the decline in stream quality in Hispaniola from these human activities. In 2011, the Caribbean Amphibian Ark Conservation Needs Assessment found that the frog populations needed more in-situ conservation action if they are to survive long term. More specifically, preserving the forests and wetlands that the species is known to inhabit within the region. The species is not known to be threatened by trade or captivity.
