Quick facts Conservation status, Scientific classification ...

Oreophryne kapisa occurs in swamps, cultivated areas with fairly dry conditions, and remote tropical forests. Animals have been collected perching in vegetation some 0.5 to 7 m (2 to 23 ft) above the ground.[1] It presumably has direct development (i.e., there is no free-living larval stage[3]), like other Oreophryne.[1]

Oreophryne kapisa is assumed to be a common species within its small range. It also appears to tolerate some habitat modification, and is therefore not considered threatened.[1]
