It is endemic to Greater Shillong in North East India. It is known from the Khasi Hills in the region of Shillong, Meghalaya in north-eastern India.[2] It has been categorized as Critically Endangered because its extent of occurrence is less than 100 km², its distribution is severely fragmented, there is continuing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat, and in the number of mature individuals in and around Shillong, in Meghalaya, northeastern India.[1] PopulationThe population is believed to have declined significantly. While it was considered to be abundant in the 1970s, it is now difficult to find specimens of this frog. Recent ongoing (post 1993) vocalization surveys in and around Malki Forest (the type locality) have failed to record this species.[1] Habitat and threatsThis species inhabits tropical moist forests. Selective logging, the collection of wood for subsistence use, and urbanization, are all major threats to the species' habitat.[1] Conservation actionsIt is not known whether or not this species occurs in any protected areas, but habitat protection and maintenance are urgent priorities for this species, and additional survey work is necessary to assess its current population status.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite journal | author = Dutta, S. | author2 = Ohler, A. | author3 = Roy, D. | last-author-amp = yes | title = Raorchestes shillongensis | journal = The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species | volume = 2004 | page = e.T58902A11852580 | publisher = IUCN | date = 2004 | url = http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/58902/0 | doi = 10.2305/IUCN.UK.2004.RLTS.T58902A11852580.en | access-date = 6 January 2018}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Rhacophoridae/Rhacophorinae/Raorchestes/Raorchestes-shillongensis |title=Raorchestes shillongensis (Pillai and Chanda, 1973) |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2014 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.
