Habitat and conservation.
"Craugastor fitzingeri" occurs in humid lowland and montane forests below . It is often found in disturbed forest or forest edge, although it does not occur in secondary forest in the Colombian part of its range. In lowland dry forest areas, it is restricted to riparian gallery forest in the dry season, but ranges more widely in the wet season. By day these frogs are found on the forest floor, usually concealed in leaf litter, but they can also be active. At night, they often climb onto logs or into low vegetation. Males typically call at dusk from elevated positions on low herbs and in bushes, etc.
This species can be locally abundant, but some populations have declined. No major threats to it have been identified. Its range overlaps with several protected areas.
