Wild populations face pressure from habitat loss and, historically, collection for the pet trade β which is precisely why captive breeding programs are so critically important.

Captive breeding programs have significantly reduced pressure on wild populations and today virtually all Tomato Frogs in the pet trade are captive bred.
