Current Status
The current overall condition status of the Coastal Cactus Wren Species Indicator is Concern based on an assessment of the two metric conditions. While occupied plots (Metric 1) currently fall within the Caution category, there is concern that cactus wrens occur only in a fraction of their former range. They are not monitored in areas where they have been extirpated (for example, cactus patches along the coast). Coastal cactus wrens are sparsely distributed in available habitat in small populations vulnerable to local extinction from stochastic processes and stressors such as drought (Metric 1). Habitat quality (Metric 2) fell in the Concern category. Additional metrics will be added as more information becomes available.
