Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

The Pirre Bush-tanager faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in the Darién region of Panama and adjacent Colombia. Mining activities and agricultural expansion have reduced the montane forest cover essential for this species' survival. Climate change poses an additional threat by shifting suitable habitat zones upslope, potentially reducing available territory for this already range-restricted species.

Threat summary

Habitat

The Pirre Bush-tanager inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges at elevations between 1,000-1,800 meters in the Darién Mountains. It prefers dense understory vegetation and secondary growth areas within primary cloud forest ecosystems.
