Smith P 2009: FAUNA Paraguay Handbook of the Mammals of Paraguay Vol 2: Xenarthra average of 452.5ha in Argentina (Parera 2002, Carter 1985), whilst crude estimates of 5-8 individuals per 100km 2 were made for the species in Santa Cruz, Bolivia from camera trap data. Assuming that all specimens remained in the area in which they were photographed they estimated a maximum of 14 individuals per 100km 2 for the Tucavaca region of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, though they noted that the majority of animals were photographed only once during the 28 month study (Noss et al 2004). The population remains healthy and relatively well-protected in the Chaco as a result of the isolation of the habitat, but it is at risk from conversion of natural habitat into ranchland and desertification in areas of extensive deforestation. Burning can have a severe impact on the species, with 2 individuals being found burnt to death in a 2000ha area following a fire in Emas National Park. Intensive pesticide use in agricultural areas actively eliminates their food source. Historically it has been considered a zoological "rarity" and was much sought after for zoological gardens and private collections. Vulnerability to fire would seem to be correlated to the intensity of the blaze (in turn related to the combustability of the vegetation), and regular burning may in fact be less damaging to the species than infrequent but more severe fires. Burning does not apparently affect the species choice of habitat, it being equally as frequent in burned areas as unburnt areas in the cerrado of Brazil (Prada & Marinho-Filho 2004). Any conservation strategy should be accompanied an educational element in which local people are taught to admire and respect the species and myths about its supposed great value on the black market are dispelled (Porini 2001). A captive breeding programme is currently underway in Argentina with the aim to reintroduce the species and augment wild populations. Online Account: www.faunaparaguay.com/primaxhb.html.
