Proceratophrys redacta is a species of frog in the family Odontophrynidae. It is endemic to Brazil.[2][3][1]
Habitat
Scientists observed this frog near streams in dry Caatinga habitats between 890 and 1250 meters above sea level.[1]
The frog's range overlaps Parque Estadual do Morro do Chapéu but scientists have not reported it inside the park.[1]
Threats
The IUCN classifies this species as endangered. The principal threats are habitat loss associated with iron mining, agriculture, and livestock grazing. Humans also use fire to convert the forest to fields. Scientists also believe wind farms might hurt the frog but they have not confirmed this.[1]
