Chrysocyon brachyurus is an endemic canid of South America. Is an near threatened (international) and endangered (national) species. However, the information availability for the maned wolf is not enough for encourage an action plan for the conservation. The most significant and historic threats proposed to maned wolf are conflicts with humans, drastic reduction of habitat, kills by automobiles, and feral dogs (who pursue and kill maned wolf individuals, are a source of diseases, and compete for food). With the objectives to update the conservation problems and to contribute in an integrated and synchronized action plan for the maned wolf, was developed a Workshop for Conservation of Maned wolf in Argentina.
