Wikipedia Abstract

The green-billed toucan (Ramphastos dicolorus), also known as the red-breasted toucan, is found in southern and eastern Brazil, Pantanal of Bolivia, eastern Paraguay and far north-eastern Argentina. It is primarily found in Atlantic Forest. Overall, it is fairly common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by IUCN.
