Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The Bolivian montane dry forests are among one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world (Portillo-Quintero and Sánchez-Azofeifa 2009). The ecoregion contains large areas of degraded land, and the region is heavily impacted by urban expansion and the associated conversion to agriculture (Fjeldså and Mayer 1996). The main threats in this species range are smallholder agriculture and extensive livestock farming with browsing (M. Martinez pers. comm. 2024).
