Rationale
(Changed due to Same category and criteria)
Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, tolerance of a broad range of habitats and its presumed large population.
Distribution
This species ranges from extreme southern Angola, through the northern two-thirds of Namibia, to Botswana, southward to central South Africa. The eastern limit of its distribution is very uncertain due to confusion with Bufo garmani. It is a low-altitude species.
