is only 10% of the occurrence (1'100 km2). Although their occupancy is declining, their occurrence remains the same. Furthermore, Breviceps bagginsi live in extremely fragmented subpopulations and the quality of their habitat is decreasing due to sylviculture and construction and maintenance of roads. Subpopulation sizes are around 20-30 individuals. Distances between subpopulations are too long to allow dissemination within one generation.
