    Faces an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.

    The banded cotinga is critically endangered primarily due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by deforestation for agriculture and urban development. While specific recovery programs are limited, ongoing efforts to protect its remaining Atlantic Forest habitat are crucial. Responsible safari tourism can help by supporting local communities and conservation initiatives, raising awareness about the importance of preserving these unique ecosystems and their inhabitants.

    The banded cotinga is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae. It is endemic to southeastern Brazil.
