Conservation Status
The white-fronted capuchin is adaptable, has a wide distribution and probably is not yet endangered in Colombia on the species level. Nevertheless, it is probable that some subspecies are under considerable pressure. For example, C. a. cuscinus is found only is a small part of the SW Colombian Amazon and probably should be classified as "Vulnerable" for the country. We need to census the various subspecies and to clarify the taxonomy in order to evaluate properly the situation within the country. This species is found within 10–15 National Parks and it is probably not excessively hunted. Also, it survives well in secondary vegetation close to human beings.
