Habitat:
It inhabits a variety of types of forest, including dry forest, seasonally flooded forest and gallery forest, and savanna (Silveira 2008). It prefers dense forest rich in woody lianas, with a continuous canopy (Dornas and Pinheiro 2018). It feeds on the flowers of Tabebuia trees, Vitex fruit and liana leaves (Olmos 1998, Dornas and Pinheiro 2018).
Range:
Penelope ochrogaster occurs in the cerrado and northern Pantanal of central Brazil. It occurs in the Pantanal in the states of Matto Grosso and Matto Gross do Sul, along the Araguaia river valley from Goiás and Matto Grosso north through Tocantins, and at several localities in western Minas Gerais (including the São Francisco river valley; Olmos 2003, Antas 2006, Mazzoni et al. 2015, Dornas and Pinheiro 2018, WikiAves 2018). There had been no records from the São Francisco River since 1913, until the species was observed twice on one of its tributaries in a 1998-2007 survey (Faria et al. 2009). The species is assumed to be extinct from much of its former range (Olmos 1998).
Conservation:
Conservation Actions Underway
It is included in the National Action Plan for the Conservation of the Birds of the Cerrado and Pantanal, which includes actions to map habitat corridors for the species, create further protected areas, reduce habitat loss and restore habitat (ICMBio 2014). It has been recorded in several protected areas including Pantanal Matogrossense National Park, Araguaia National Park, Cantão State Park, Ilha do Bananal/Cantão Area of Environmental Protection, Quelônios do Araguaia Wildlife Refuge, Encontro das Águas State Park, and the Sesc Pantanal Private Natural Heritage Reserve (Dornas and Pinheiro 2018).Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey to assess the species's current range and obtain an estimate of the population size. Research the species's ecology. Monitor habitat loss within the species's range.
Enforce protected areas where the species occurs and create further protected areas. Protect and restore habitat throughout the species's range. Encourage sustainable forestry practices among the cattle-grazing community.
