I am not sure i would list R. kezeri as a endangered species....i was in their habitat for only two days, and i found probably around 30+, many of which were simply along the stream banks or in the open in the stream. They appear to be extremely abundant in the right habitat. I might put them as vulnerable. Anyway, i suppose i probably don't know as much on the matter as scientists, but i thought i would throw my two cents in.
