Scientists classify this frog as data deficient with respect to conservation and risk of extinction. It lives in forests on hills and mountains. They believe the frog breeds in clear, rocky streams.^[1]

In 2017, scientists examined the frog's genetic relationship to other rhacophorids and concluded that it may be conspecific with Rhacophorus modestus.^[1]
