Habitat and conservation Oreophryne rookmaakeri occurs in tropical dry forest and shrubland at elevations of above sea level. It lives in bushes and trees. Presumably, it lays its eggs on the ground and the eggs develop directly to froglets, without free-living larval stage. There is little specific information on threats to this species, but it would probably be suffer from extensive habitat loss. It is not known to occur in any protected area.
