Habitat and conservation edit
Dendropsophus haddadi occurs in coastal rainforest and in scrubby coastal "restinga" vegetation, as well as in gardens, farmland, and towns, at elevations below 650 m (2,130 ft). It breeds in permanent bonds and can be spotted on vegetation around these. It is a common and very adaptable species that is not facing any threats. It is present in many protected areas.[1]
