Conservation

The IUCN Red List status of the White-bellied Antpitta is assessed as Least Concern, in view of the broad distribution of the species. Its estimated range has been diminished by approximately 24% in Ecuador due to habitat loss (Freile et al. 2010).

The relative abundance of White-bellied Antpitta is rated as "uncommon to fairly common" in Ecuador (Ridgely and Greenfield 2001a) and as "fairly common" in Peru (Schulenberg et al. 2007).

Effects of human activity on populations

Human activity has little short-term direct effect on White-bellied Antpitta, other than the local effects of habitat destruction. Given that this species occupies regenerating habitats, it may even benefit, locally, from human activities, such as a low level of clearing for subsistence agriculture.
