Status
Nectophrynoides viviparus is listed as "Vulnerable" in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This is because it is found as several separate populations in an area of less than 20,000 square kilometres (7,700 sq mi). The main range is remote but there is some increase in agricultural activity in the area. It has been seen in maize fields but it is unclear to what extent it is able to adapt to deforestation. Although locally common, populations in general appear to be declining.
