Link to BirdLife species factsheet for Cundinamarca Antpitta
Cundinamarca Antpitta Grallaria kaestneri is currently listed as Vulnerable under criterion D2, because it occupies fewer than six locations.
Information provided by O. Cortes (in litt. 2009), suggests that the species’s population is not stable, as previously thought, but is actually declining due to habitat loss. The species’s Extent of Occurrence (EOO) is estimated to be 450 km2, thus if continuing declines are observed, inferred or projected in the EOO, Area of Occupancy, area, extent and/or quality of its habitat, number of locations or sub-populations, or number of mature individuals, the species would be eligible for uplisting to Endangered under criterion B1a+b.
Comments are invited on this possible category change, particularly information on the likely population size, the current trend over 11 years (estimate of three generations) and the severity of threats.
in field work at Farallones de Medina not records the population Cundinamarca Antpitta due has drastically declined These are not suitable for antpitta as they need cloud forest for breeding and foraging.
declines are suspected in its range owing to habitat clearance and degradation, and its population is suspected to be experiencing a moderately rapid decline owing to the same threats, the population and furthermore this specie is only know the two locations IBA Guatiquia and Farallones de Medina but this last have high fragmentation and not records recently the cundinamarca antpitta
