The Togo Slippery Frog (Conraua derooi) is an amphibian species endemic to Togo, West Africa that is facing extinction. The population size of this species is believed to be fewer than 250 individuals. Habitat destruction due to deforestation and conversion of land for agriculture is the primary threat to its survival. Additionally, the Togo Slippery Frog faces pressure from illegal collection for the pet trade. Conservation efforts involve habitat preservation, captive breeding programs, and raising awareness about the importance of protecting this unique frog species.
