Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: When viewing the observation of M. peninsularis (same for M. a. farileana) on website it shows conservation status as NT

Step 2: When viewing the species page of M. peninsularis (same for M. a. farileana) on website it shows conservation status as Endangered Globally

Step 3:

This is because M. peninsularis has a global conservation status (which shows up on the main page) and a specific status limited to Mexico, which shows up on observations in Mexico. Conservation information can be found under the Status tab on the taxon page:

This is not a bug.
