The Hooded Grebe is threatened by the climate change and the introduction of trout and salmon on the Strobel plateau.

One hundred and fifteen species of bird have been recorded in the park, including peregrine falcon, hooded grebe, flamingo, andean goose, Podiceps, and several species of ducks, falcons and eagles.

The key breeding lakes in the core of its range, lack any kind of legal protection, but the population of the Hooded Grebe on Meseta de Strobel have some protection from its inaccessibility.
