Description complète des menacesTexte détaillé évaluation IUCNExpert
The majority of collections have been made from department of Tarija Department, where the human population grew by around 25% between 2012 and 2022 (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica 2022). The species occurs in the Bolivian montane dry forests ecoregion, which 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 regionally outstanding central Andean puna ecoregion, where this species is also found, is classified as Vulnerable. Land has been extensively converted for agricultural purposes, as well as livestock grazing, firewood supply and by burning (Dinerstein et al. 1995).
