There are no major threats to the species. There is some localized habitat loss to different human activities such as agriculture (crops, livestock etc.), but its range is in an area of low human impact.

This species might occur in Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, Peru; and in Parque Nacional Natural Amacayacu and El Pure National Park, Colombia.

Listed as Least Concern in view of its relatively wide distribution, tolerance of a degree of habitat modification, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.
