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.

Famous quotes containing the words conservation and/or status:
“The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, as far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the more important work of saving and restoring our forests and the great improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
