As human activity increases, aggressive wildfire control policies are gradually causing rainforest degradation and deforestation, threatening South America's biodiversity and the sustainability of its ecosystem services. With their habitat threatened and destroyed, the life of the pale blips has become more difficult than ever. Today, the pale curvebill hornbill has endangered its survival, and its number is decreasing, becoming one of the endangered species.
