Range and habitat

Calumma tsaratananense is known only from the Tsaratanana Massif, Madagascar's highest mountain, located in the northern portion of the island. It inhabits high-elevation heathland between 2,500 and 2,850 meters elevation in the ericoid thickets ecoregion. Its area of occupancy (AOO) is not well known. Tsaratanana Massif has an area of 492 km², but the chameleon's range is less than less than 100 km⁶, and may be as little as 6 km².^[1]
