This frog lives in and near forests. People have seen it in coffee farms, but only if those farms are near forests. People sometimes catch this frog to sell as pets.[1]

Scientists believe this frog is not in danger of dying out because it lives in such a large place and because it is good at living in places human beings have changed.[1]
