Conservation
From IUCN Red List:
The Military Macaw is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List and was last assessed in 2013 by BirdLife International. This species is listed as Vulnerable because levels of habitat loss and capture for the cagebird trade indicate that there is a continuing rapid population decline. Its future ought to be secured by the large number of national parks in which it occurs, but many of these currently provide ineffective protection.
