Rhinella fissipes is considered not threatened given its large and vast distribution. Habitat loss has effected the distribution of Rhinella fissipes, but has not been evaluated as a threat.[2]

Conservation

The Carabaya toad is found in a couple of National Parks to help further protection. Some of these parks include the Pilon Lajas Biosphere Reserve and Carrasco National Park.
