'''Scientific Name:''' Pharomachrus mocinno

'''Habitat:''' Southern Mexico to Panama. Found in the montane cloud forests

'''Habitat:''' North America; Southern Mexico to Panama. Found in the montane cloud forests

'''Status:''' ~~Vulnerable~~. Populations continue to decline, owing largely to widespread deforestation throughout its range. The main problem for the Costa Rican Monteverde population is the fragmentation and destruction of forests to which it descends in the non-breeding season. This is probably applicable to many populations. Some poaching probably still occurs, particularly in south Mexico, but this appears to have diminished. Although it is an important symbol for conservation in Central America, and reserves have been established to facilitate its protection, these tend to be small and include limited representations of critical habitat.

'''Status:''' Near Threatened. '''Global Population:''' 20,000-49,999 Mature individuals. Populations continue to decline, owing largely to widespread deforestation throughout its range.

'''Diet:''' Fruits, especially wild avocados and laurel fruit, some wasps, ants, larvae and small frogs.

Quetzals are important in Avocado and laurel seed dispersal; the birds swallow the fruit whole before regurgitating the pits, which in turn disperse the seeds for these trees.
