Conservation and Management
Conservation Status
Not globally threatened; currently considered Near Threatened. However, it is locally considered as Endangered in Chile and Critically Endangered in Ecuador (31, 33).
Uncommon and very local throughout its range. It is most widespread and numerous in Peru ; fewer than 100 probably remain in Ecuador and it now seems to be uncommon in Chile and Bolivia. It is threatened by habitat degradation resulting from overgrazing by livestock and is also hunted locally.
Effects of Human Activity
Habitat Loss and Degradation
Little known. It seems to be sensitive to habitat loss (31), potentially as a result of overgrazing. However, it can use agricultural valleys and human structures (Franzkeit in eBird, Sagastume in eBird).
Effects of Invasive Species
Nothing known. It is not clear whether feral dogs actually depredate Andean Ibis, but birds are disturbed by them (27).
Hunting and Trapping
It is hunted in Ecuador, but this activity has been reduced after the establishment of Antisana National Park (31).
Pesticides and Other Contaminants/Toxics
Information needed.
Collisions with Stationary/Moving Structures or Objects
Information needed.
Management
Conservation Areas
The establishment and protection of the area around Antisana in Ecuador reduced and almost eliminated hunting entirely (31). Also present in Sangay National Park in Ecuador. In Peru it is also present in the Titicaca National Reserve, Ulla Ulla National Reserve, Choquequirao Reserve, Pui Pui protected area, and Huay Huash protected area (eBird).
