Conservation
The Black-fronted Piping Guan is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List and was last assessed in 2013 by BirdLife International. This Piping-guan qualifies as Endangered owing to the rapid and continuing reduction in numbers and habitat. Despite once being abundant, extensive habitat loss and heavy hunting pressure have extirpated the species from large parts of its former range and it is now very rare outside a few protected areas.
