IUCN (Red List) status: Vulnerable (VU).
For Red List information on this species, see the IUCN species account.

From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description This species is known from several localities on the islands of Mindanao, Basilan, and the Sulus, in the southern Philippines. It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. Habitat and Ecology It inhabits and breeds in streams and quiet pools of water in undisturbed and disturbed lowland forests. Very little information is known about its ecology or habitat requirements. Population It is a common species. Population Trend Decreasing Major Threats Important threats to this species are the loss of lowland rainforests and the pollution of mountain streams and rivers, especially due to agricultural effluents. Conservation Actions Its range does include a few protected areas, such as Mount Malindang, but the designation of remaining rainforests on the island of Mindanao as protected areas is a necessary conservation measure for this species.
