State of conservation ⓘ


Status Near Threatened (UICN)ⓘ

This species is suspected that they have experienced a moderately rapid decline due to the extensive loss and degradation of its habitat range within. Now survive in a highly fragmented landscape. Its area of distribution in Brazil has suffered extensive forest loss and degradation through agricultural expansion and charcoal production. The forests of the North of Conception and those who are in Chaco, in the easternmost area of Paraguay, are coming under increasing pressure and have seen considerable deforestation in recent 10 years (R. Clay in litt., 2009).

There is one hybridization apparent with the Maroon-bellied Parakeet (Pyrrhura frontalis) observed in the apa river (R. Clay in litt., 2009).

The trade is apparently minimal (pit et to the., 1997).
