The Trinidad Golden Tree Frog (Phytotriades auratus) is a critically endangered amphibian species endemic to the island of Trinidad. The population size of this frog is unknown but believed to be very low. Habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation, pollution, and disease are the primary threats to its survival. Conservation efforts involve habitat preservation, monitoring, and research, as well as captive breeding programs to bolster the population.
