| Range Description: |
Buteo ventralis is endemic to the lower Andes of Patagonia in southern Chile and Argentina, where it is rare, occurring at naturally low densities. No data is available regarding numbers or densities, and there is no firm evidence of a decline. However, the species inhabits the ecotone between Nothofagus forest and steppe grassland, and this habitat has being negatively affected by logging and overgrazing since the introduction of sheep and cattle5. Additionally some authorities consider that the total populations is unlikely to exceed 1,000 individuals4. Further information is required regarding population size, trends and other potential or existing threats. Increased knowledge of identification features may generate more records of this species.
