“…For species with large home ranges, the negative effects of disturbance may simply be explained by the lack of sufficient habitat. White‐lipped peccary herds, for example, require up to 140 km 2 of forests (Moreira‐Ramirez et al., 2019), which could only be found in and around the national parks. Other herbivores, such as tapirs and red brocket deer, have smaller home ranges (4.8 km 2 for Baird's tapir [Naranjo, 2019], 0.5 km 2 for red brocket deer [ Mazama americana ] [Gallina‐Tessaro et al., 2019]) but depend on high‐quality food found in minimally disturbed areas (Naranjo, 2019; Gallina‐Tessaro et al., 2019).…”

“…However, in this work we only evaluated the presence of individuals, and we do not know their regional abundances, their demographic composition or ability to breed, or their ability to perform historical behaviors, such as foraging movements (Lambertucci et al 2012(Lambertucci et al , 2018. Andean Condors have overlapping individual home ranges, which are also orders of magnitude larger (Lambertucci et al 2014) than those of tapirs (Medici 2011), white-lipped peccaries (Moreira-Ramírez et al 2019), or jaguars (Morato et al 2016), and many condors can be vulnerable to threats in a relatively small area. Therefore, the percentage of historical range where Andean Condors are still observed as a standalone indicator of the conservation status of this species may not be appropriate.…”

The Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) is a culturally iconic wildlife symbol for the South American Andes, but is naturally found at very low population densities, and is increasingly threatened. Using the Range Wide Priority Setting methodology, we (a group of 38 Andean Condor experts) updated the Andean Condor historical range (3,230,061 km2), systematized 9998 Andean Condor distribution points across the range, and identified geographic areas for which there was expert knowledge (66%), including areas where Andean Condors no longer occur (7%), and geographic areas where condors are believed to range, but for which there was not expert knowledge about condor presence (34%). To prioritize conservation action into the future and identify existing Andean Condor population strongholds, we used expert knowledge to identify 21 of the most important areas for the conservation of the species (i.e., Andean Condor Conservation Units [ACCUs]) that cover 37% of the revised historical range, and range in size from 837 km2 to 298,951 km2. In general, ACCUs were relatively small in the northern portion of the range in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru, and significantly larger in the central and southern portion of the range in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, reflecting the reduced and narrower historical range in the northern portion of the range, as well as increased threats. Andean Condors can fly extremely long distances and so the populations of many neighboring ACCUs are probably still functionally connected, although this situation also underlines the need for integrated and large-scale conservation efforts for this species. As a function of the Range Wide Priority Setting results, we make recommendations to ensure population connectivity into the future and engage a wide range of actors in Andean Condor conservation efforts.

“…Analysis at the level of the 36 km 2 cell provides a coarser-grain measurement of drivers of species distribution (MacKenzie et al, 2017), and for the wide-ranging species here, may better reflect true patterns of occupancy. The 36 km 2 size was chosen because it falls toward the low end of estimates for white-lipped peccary home range size from Mesoamerica (Carrillo et al, 2002;Reyna-Hurtado et al, 2009;Moreira-Ramírez et al, 2018). For analyses at the cell level, we combined detections for all cameras that fell within a grid cell for each 10day period to record detection histories.…”
