    The Andean Ibis faces threats from habitat loss due to agricultural expansion and overgrazing. While specific recovery programs are not widely documented, the species' survival is linked to the preservation of its high-altitude grassland habitat. Responsible safari tourism can help by supporting local communities and conservation initiatives, raising awareness about the importance of protecting these unique environments.

    The Andean ibis is a species of bird in the family Threskiornithidae. It is found in grassland and fields in western South America. This species was considered a subspecies of the black-faced ibis, and some taxonomic authorities still consider it so.
