Conservation
Conservation Status
Oaxaca Sparrow has a "moderately small" geographic range, and is suspected to be experiencing a population decline as a result of habitat loss and degradation. Consequently its IUCN Red List status is assessed as Near Threatened (BirdLife International 2013).
Estimates of the relative abundance of Oaxaca Sparrow range from "very uncommon" (Binford 1989) to fairly common to common (Howell and Webb 1995).
Effects of human activity on populations
The population of Oaxaca Sparrow is believed to be in decline, due to the effects of habitat loss and degradation, particularly from wood cutting for timber and fuel, and from clearing of the habitat for cattle ranching (BirdLife International 2013); Oaxaca Sparrow occupies scrub habitats on steep slopes, however, which to date have been somewhat protected from the effects of human activity (BirdLife International 2013).
