Due to the severity of the drought that has been experienced in 83.17% of the territory of the island 86% of the species of the coqui are classified as endangered or vulnerable with the likelihood of danger of extinction.

The Coqui was included in the federal list of endangered species in 2012. This action raises awareness of the vulnerability of the species.
