Pristimantis gretathunbergae, dubbed Greta Thunberg's rainfrog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae, native to Panama.[2] It is named in honor of Greta Thunberg, a climate activist.[3] It lives in small pools of water held in bromeliads growing on the cloud forests of Mount Chucantí and other mountains of the Darién Gap, and of central Panama.[4][5]

The type specimen was discovered by an international team of biologists led by Abel Batista, from Panama, and Konrad Mebert from Switzerland in Cerro Chucantí, a private reserve located in the province of Darién.[6]
