The main threats to the Martinique Volcano Frog include habitat loss due to deforestation, land development, and pollution, as well as the introduction of invasive species and climate change impacts. Urgent conservation efforts are needed to protect its habitat, raise awareness about its endangered status, and mitigate the human-induced threats it faces.
