5 thoughts on “Rufous-fronted Antthrush (Formicarius rufifrons)”
This species has a more extensive global range that extends into SW Brazil where there are documented records as far E as the outskirts of Rio Branco in E Acre https://ebird.org/checklist/S31544511 this suggests the species has a larger distribution but also one which overlaps the aggressive deforestation frontier in Acre. The species is also threatened in SE Peru by loss and degradation of floodplain forest from gold mining – see spectacular scars on Google Earth. I don’t think these are well captured by the Hansen models.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now temporarily closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 6 February 2023. We will now analyse and interpret new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 6 February 2023, when discussions will re-open.
Following comments submitted on this discussion forum, the species’ range has been remapped and EOO, AOO and rate of tree cover loss recalculated. The overall assessment however remains unaffected by these changes, as there is no evidence that any threshold for a threatened listing is approached or met. The species factsheet has been updated to reflect this information.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2023 Red List would thus be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 12 February 2023, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2023 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2023, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Rufous-fronted Antthrush is recommended to be listed as Least Concern.
