Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Chloropsis cyanopogon is restricted to the Sundaic lowlands, from south Tenasserim, Myanmar, peninsular Thailand, Singapore (scarce), Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia, Kalimantan (including Banggi Island) and Sumatra, Indonesia and Brunei, where it is generally fairly common in forest to 700 m.

Population [top]
Population: The population size is unknown, but the species is described as common where habitat remains (del Hoyo et al. 2006).
Trend Justification: Rates of forest loss in the Sundaic lowlands have been extremely rapid (Kalimantan lost nearly 25% of its evergreen forest during 1985-1997, and Sumatra lost almost 30% of its 1985 cover), because of a variety of factors, including the escalation of logging and land conversion, with deliberate targeting of all remaining stands of valuable timber including those inside protected areas, plus forest fires (particularly in 1997-1998). However, the population is suspected to have declined more slowly as the species can tolerate secondary habitats.
Current Population Trend: Decreasing
Additional data:
?Number of mature individuals: Unknown ?Continuing decline of mature individuals: Unknown
?Extreme fluctuations: No ?Population severely fragmented: No
?Continuing decline in subpopulations: Unknown
?Extreme fluctuations in subpopulations: No ?All individuals in one subpopulation: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Canopy and high edge of lowland evergreen forest, including peat-swamp forest, mature and regenerating secondary forest, also fruiting trees and shrubs in clearings and high shade cover of plantations. It occurs up to 700 m in most of its range but occasionally to 1,100 m in Malaysia. Birds in breeding condition have been recorded in February-August.
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Generation Length (years): 4.2
Movement patterns: Not a Migrant
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Forest destruction in the Sundaic lowlands of Indonesia, and in Thailand and Malaysia has been extensive (Kalimantan lost nearly 25% of its evergreen forest during 1985-1997, and Sumatra lost almost 30% of its 1985 cover), but the speciess ability to survive in second growth and forest edge implies that it is not immediately threatened.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Conservation Actions Underway
None are known.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Protect areas of lowland forest within the speciess range. Enforce restrictions on agricultural encroachment and logging within such protected areas. Estimate population trends by calculating rates of forest loss within its range using satellite imagery and remote sensing techniques.
