    Faces a high risk of extinction in the wild.

    The white-necked parakeet is threatened primarily by habitat loss due to deforestation for agriculture and logging. While specific recovery programs are limited, ongoing efforts to protect its forest habitat are crucial. Responsible safari tourism can help by supporting local economies that depend on intact ecosystems, providing an incentive to conserve these areas and their unique wildlife.

    The white-breasted parakeet or white-necked parakeet, is a Vulnerable species of bird in subfamily Arinae of the family Psittacidae, the African and New World parrots. It is found in southern Ecuador and possibly in adjacent northern Peru.
