Range:
This taxon occurs as two subspecies: the nominate race in north-central Brazil, south of the Rio Amazon from the lower Rio Madeira to north Pará; and the race nattereri in south and west Amazonia (Rondônia east to south Pará, south to west W Goiás and Mato Grosso do Sul), and south into Bolivia.

Conservation:

Conservation Actions Underway
It occurs in a number of protected areas. It is listed as nationally Near Threatened in Brazil (MMA 2014). A captive population is maintained (del Hoyo and Sargatal 1994).

Conservation Actions Proposed
Carry out surveys across its range to gain an estimate of the population size. Monitor population trends. Study the impact of hunting on the species's population trends. Monitor hunting levels. Continue to monitor rates of deforestation across the species's range.
Expand the protected area network to effectively protect IBAs. Effectively resource and manage existing and new protected areas. Enforce legislation prohibiting hunting and forest clearance across its range.
