From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description This species is found in several localities on Mindanao Island, in the Philippines. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. Habitat and Ecology It inhabits undisturbed and disturbed streams and rivers in lower montane and lowland forests; it is apparently absent from non-forested areas. Breeding takes place by larval development. Population It is locally common where present. Population Trend Decreasing Major Threats Threats include habitat loss due to agriculture, and the pollution of streams and rivers from agricultural toxins and mine-tailings. Conservation Actions Its range includes a few protected areas, including Mount Malindang National Park and Mount Apo Natural Park. Conservation measures must include the regulation and proper disposal of pesticides and herbicides, and the protection of the remaining rainforest habitats, especially riverine habitats and gallery forests.
