Conservation status We found only two localities (of the six confirmed) within conservation areas (33.3%of the occurrences), although the EOO polygon intersected with 35 protected areas, managed by two institutions (Corporación Autónoma Regional and Parques Naturales


Nacionales de Colombia). Specifically, these 35 areas in- clude one Soil Conservation District, five Regional Protect- ed Forest Reserves, eight Regional Integrated Management Districts, and 21 Natural Civil Society Reserves (UNEP– WCMC, 2019). The portions of the protected areas within the EOO polygon have a total area of 1,025 km2, with 1,298 km2 of the EOO not lying within protected areas (Fig. 1a). When overlapping the forest coverage with the EOO polygon, the forest coverage during 2016–2017 was 219 km2 (6.6%). Considering the species’ range and its rarity, we recommend that C. vestitus is recategorized from Data Deficient to En- dangered based on the following criteria: (1)B1b(iii,iv,v) and B2b(iii,iv,v): with anEOOof,5,000 km2 (B1) and con- tinuing decline inferred (b) in extent and/or quality of habi- tat (iii), number of locations or subpopulations (iv) and the number of mature individuals (v), and similarly with an AOO ,500 km2 (B2); (2)C2b: population size estimated to number ,2,500 mature individuals with a continuing decline, observed, projected, or inferred (C), and, continu- ing decline, observed, projected or inferred, in numbers of mature individuals, and extreme fluctuations in number of mature individuals (2b).


Discussion


Our recommendation to categorize C. vestitus as Endangered follows IUCN (2012) recommendations to assess poorly
