In this study, I evaluated the role of strictly protected areas in Peru in protecting the potential distribution area (PDA) of eight threatened diurnal raptor species. PDA of species ranged from 5 766 km² (Graybacked Hawk -Pseudastur occidentalis) to 699 229 km² (Gray-bellied Hawk -Accipiter poliogaster). On average, strictly protected areas covered 11.3% of species PDA, with higher percentages for the most rangerestricted species (Gray-backed Hawk; 26.3% of PDA). This was not the case for the wide ranging and locally threatened (Andean Condor -Vultur gryphus; 2% of PDA) or for small species restricted to montane forests (Semicollared Hawk -Accipiter collaris; 3.5% of PDA). My results call for an integrated conservation approach for threatened raptor species that focus on habitat preservation beyond protected area limits. This is particularly urgent for the Andean Condor and the Black-and-chestnut Eagle (Spizaetus isidori), two species with diminishing populations globally. For the latter, habitat conservation through the protection of montane forests inside indigenous communities in the north and central Andes could be a viable option to the creation of protected areas.

It was sighted in the Chocón wetland (also known as Tragadero), located in the districts of Marco and Acolla in the province of Jauja. This sighting is the first record of the species in the Peruvian Andes.
