The main threats to the goliath frog, which is an endangered species, include habitat loss due to logging and farming, hunting, water pollution, and being part of the illegal wildlife trade. They are also sought after by pet collectors, some of whom use them in frog-jumping contests. The frog’s particular habitat requirements also complicate efforts to conserve the species; it inhabits clear, warm rivers and nearby riverbanks and humid, undisturbed old-growth or secondary-growth forests.
