Habitat and conservation.
"Atelopus spurrelli" occurs in primary and secondary tropical humid forest at elevations of above sea level. It lives in leaf-litter near water, and presumably breeds in streams. It can be locally common, but has also declined or disappeared from many sites where chytridiomycosis has been reported. It can also be locally threatened by deforestation caused by agricultural development, illegal crops, illegal mining activities, and logging. Its range includes several protected areas, e.g., Utría National Park and El Amargal Nature Reserve.
