Habitat and conservation
Pristimantis moro lives in humid lowland and montane forests from sea level to above sea level. It is a nocturnal and arboreal species living in the forest canopy. This, together with its small size, makes it difficult to observe, making it prone to under-recording. Threats to it are unknown. It is present in some protected areas in Panama and Costa Rica. ==References==
