Woodpeckers are usually amicable around humans, adapting to manmade environments mainly for nesting and feeding.
 They can be considered a nuisance when nesting activities involve agricultural damage.
 Utility poles, housing insulation, wood cabins, wooden houses and shutters are used by this genus often resulting in structural damage.
 Humans have had a large impact on this  genus through extensive habitat degradation and loss and early specimen collections which may have led to declining populations.
 Provision of nest boxes for this species has been unsuccessful.
