Threatened species of Dusicyon sechurae

The fact that so little is known of Dusicyon sechurae is a hinderance to any protective measures that may be required.

The Sechuran fox is found in northern Peru and southern Ecuador in low open grasslands in the sandy coastal semi-desert. Southern limits are unknown but extend to at least 12 degrees south.

Population and status of Dusicyon sechurae are unknown. The IUCN considers the species as "Data Deficient".
