Pristimantis jamescameroni

''Pristimantis jamescameroni'' is a species of frog belonging to the family Craugastoridae. It is orange-brown coloured small frog reported so far only from the Aprada-tepui, a table-top mountain in the Bolívar state of Venezuela. It was discovered in June 2012 and formally described in October 2013 by Belgian biologist Philippe J. R. Kok at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and Vrije Universiteit Brussel. The species was named after the Hollywood filmmaker James Cameron, in recognition of his efforts in environmental awareness, and in addition to his public promotion of vegetarianism as a way of animal conservation. Due to its restricted occurrence, the species could be classified as "Endangered" according to the criteria of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
==Discovery and etymology==

An adult male (holotype) and three female (paratypes) ''Pristimantis jamescameroni'' were collected by Philippe Kok on the morning of 15 June 2012 at the summit of Aprada-tepui. The Pantepui region is situated in the northwestern part of the Guiana Shield, and is recognized as one of the primary centres of speciation and occurrence of endemic species in the Neotropics, especially of birds, amphibians and reptiles. The region is already known as the major site of habitat of at least twenty ''Pristimantis'' species, including recently discovered species such as ''P. aureoventris'', ''P. muchimuk'', ''P. abakapa'', ''P. auricarens'', ''P. pulvinatus'', ''P. stegolepis'' and ''P. tepuiensis''. The specific epithet is a genitive case of the multiple Academy Award-winning film director and producer, James Cameron, which is contracted into a single word. Cameron was chosen because of his "efforts to alert the general public of the environmental problems through pioneering high quality blockbuster movies and adventurous documentaries". Further Cameron was recognized for his "encouragement of people to go vegan", "one of the effective ways to reduce human environmental impacts such as global climate change, identified as a serious threat to tepuis ecosystems".〔〔
