Conservation This frog is common in suitable habitat, but it is only known from three locations threatened by habitat loss. It occurs with the Jaragua National Park and Baoruco Mountain Range, Sierra de Bahoruco National Park, but significant habitat destruction occurs within these parks.

Copland's Rock Frog
Copland's rock frog or the saxicoline tree frog (''Litoria coplandi'') is a species of frog in the subfamily Pelodryadinae. It is endemic to Australia, in a range extending from the Kimberley region of Western Australia to Arnhem Land and a record in the north of Queensland. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, intermittent rivers, and rocky areas. The IUCN Red list gives the conservation status of least concern, and notes the population trend as stable. The publication of the species, by Tyler in 1968, was based on his study of a type collection by Copland.Tyler, M.J. 1968. A taxonomic study of hylid frogs of the ''Hyla lesueuri'' complex occurring in north-western Australia. Records of the South Australian Museum 15: 711–727 16 The collection, 29 specimens at the Western Australian Museum, was reassigned as three syntypes; for this species, ''Litoria watjulumensis'', and ''Litoria peronii''.

Puerto Rican Rock Frog
The Puerto Rican rock frog (''Eleutherodactylus cooki''), also known as the Puerto Rican cave-dwelling frog or rock coqui, and locally as ''coquí guajón'', or ''guajón'' for brevity, is a threatened frog species from the coqui genus. This unique species of tropical frogs dwells primarily in crevices and grottos in the Cuchilla de Panduras mountain range in southeastern Puerto Rico.Recovery Plan for the Guajón or Puerto Rican Demon. FWS, 2004: http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/recovery_plan/040924b.pdf The native name ''guajón'' is derived from its habitat, ''guajonales'', which are caves formed by rock formations between huge stones. Despite being the state animal and considered emblematic of the region, of the 17 species of coquí, three are believed to be extinct and the rest are rare and declining in numbers. The Puerto Rican rock frog is extremely restricted in geographical distribution. The frog is threatened due to deforestation, agricultural, rural, and industrial development, ...
