“…In addition, conserving a large extent in areas with higher environmental suitability, such as in the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest, can help to maintain both viable populations and good habitat conditions to receive new individuals of C. fasciolata that can disperse from unsuitable areas (Borges & Loyola, 2020;Hole et al, 2011;Rezende et al, 2020). But it is important to emphasize that the Atlantic Forest is highly fragmented due to the agricultural development and urbanization, which reduces landscape permeability (Ribeiro et al, 2009;Rosa et al, 2021) Beyond the concern about habitat loss and climate change as the main drivers of bird extinction, hunting is a strong pressure currently threatening C. fasciolata (BirdLife International, 2016)also observed in other cracids (Bonfim et al, 2018;Brooks, 2006;Rios et al, 2021). In addition, land-use changes at local scale (not evaluated in this study), such as patch isolation and edge effects, strongly threaten many species, as well as C. fasciolata (BirdLife International, 2016), reducing habitat connectivity and resource acquisition, and changing microhabitat conditions (Andrén, 1994;Ewers & Banks-Leite, 2013;Lees & Peres, 2009).…”
