Grassland birds in southern South America CMS STATUS Appendix I & II CMS INSTRUMENT(S) MoU on the Conservation of Southern South American Migratory Grassland Bird Species and Their Habitats


The grasslands of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay in southern South America represent important habitat to numerous migratory and resident bird species. These birds play vital roles in the ecosystem by dispersing seeds and controlling insect populations. Some species, such as the buff-breasted sandpiper (Tryngites subruficollis), migrate some 20,000 km from their breeding grounds along the Arctic coast to their non-breeding range on the pampas of southern South America. Due to rapid declines, this species is considered Near-Threatened. Other species, such as the chestnut seedeater (Sporophila cinnamomea) and the saffron-cowled Blackbird (Xanthopsar flavus) also cross international borders within southern South America, and depend on grassland habitat for both breeding and non-breeding activities. Both of these species are classified as Vulnerable.
