Cardioglossa alsco is a species of frog in the Arthroleptidae family.[2] It is endemic to Cameroon.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane gallery forests. It is threatened by habitat loss due to the clearance of forest for pasture; however, the remaining forest is difficult to access and is less susceptible to this threat. The habitat remains vulnerable to threat of fire.[1]
