Some of the places this frog lives are protected parks.[3]
Young
changeThe male frog sits on a bamboo plant and calls to the female frogs. The female frog lays eggs in bamboo plants. The tadpoles swim in rainwater in the bamboo plants.[3]
Danger
changeThis frog is in some danger because people cut down its forests to make rubber plant farms, banana farms, and areca farms. Bad chemicals can also hurt this frog.[3]
People used to cut down the forest where the frog lives to get wood to build with and make things that people need but scientists say this does not kill the frog any more.[3]
