    The Cordilleran Parakeet faces threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and capture for the pet trade. While specific recovery programs are not widely documented, conservation efforts often focus on protecting its Andean forest habitat. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness and providing economic incentives for local communities to conserve the natural environment where these parakeets live.
