Although the Bare-faced Curassow has not yet reached the criteria for endangered status worldwide, it is considered rare and threatened in Argentina where it occupies a small range in the extreme NE.

We housed a male with us at Reserva Don Luis from 2015 to 2019 as part of a reintroduction project. Sadly he passed away due to natural causes. . We understand that Rewilding Argentina now have a project to reintroduce this species.
