Justification of Red List category
This curassow inhabits the Belém Centre of Endemism, which is among the most deforested parts of Amazonia. Habitat loss and high hunting pressure are driving population declines which are feared to become extremely rapid in the near future. The remaining population is extremely small and likely split into several subpopulations. For these reasons the species is classified as Critically Endangered.

Population size: 10-49 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 44,000 km2

Country endemic: yes
