    Crax pinima

    Crax pinima,
    which has been called "Natterer's Bare-faced Curassow", was conspecific with Crax fasiolata (above).

    As of 2014: A tiny captive population of Crax pinima exists, but there have been no confirmed records of it in the wild since 1978. 
    According to Birdlife International, "Any remaining wild population must be extremely small, and is likely to still be declining." 
    Thus, now their classification of "critically endangered".

    Crax pinima
    has been restricted to Maranhao and Para in northeastern Amazonia, therefore being a Brazilian endemic.
    It is said now to be extinct in around Belem, in Para.
    It may survive in western Maranhao at the Reserva Biologica do Gurupi and in nearby areas.
    The species was not found recently during extensive fieldwork around Paragominas in eastern Para (2003)>
    During other even extensive fieldwork in Para from 1998 to 2009, the only reports came from local people who said that the species occurs in very low numbers in the Agropalma Group Forrestal Reserves in Tailandia, where it was said to be even more rare than Mitu tuberosum.
    In 2009, 5 individuals (3 females and 2 males) were seized in illegal trade and were sent to a conservation breeding center.     

    A female Belem Curassow, or "Nattterer's Bare-faced Curassow" as it was known at the time, was seen during a FONT tour in the 1990s, along the riverbank of the Rio Cristalino, near Alta Floresta, in northern Mato Grosso, Brazil.
