Bokermannohyla nanuzae is a common species that occurs on vegetation near streams in gallery forests at elevations of 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level and higher. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by mining, fires, and infrastructure development for human settlement. Also disturbance by tourists is a threat. It occurs in the Serra do Cipó National Park.[1]
