Population justification: Based on estimates of 1,500-2,000 individuals in Brazil (G. Bencke in litt. 2009), 220-400 in Paraguay and 262-314 plus <20 in Argentina (K. Cockle in litt. 2016), the total population is believed to lie within the range 1,992-2,733 individuals (rounded here to 2,000-2,700 individuals). This equates to 1328 - 1822 mature individuals and is placed within the band 1,000-2,499 mature individuals.

Trend justification: A rapid and on-going population decline is suspected owing to illegal nest poaching, habitat destruction and persecution as a crop pest.
