Habitat
The natural habitats of A. vanzolinii are temperate forests and rivers.[1]
Conservation status
A. vanzolinii is threatened by habitat loss.[1] Alsodes vanzolinii is one of the 18 Alsodes species, 16 of which are present in Chile.[2] Currently, they are considered a critically endangered species by the IUCN (2010) and one of the most threatened Chilean anuran species due to the habitat destruction and expanding exotic tree plantations.[3] It is necessary to increase survey efforts of new populations and how plantation managements, like herbicides and fertilisers are affecting them.[4]
