Population [top]
Population: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as local and sparse to reasonably common (Madge and McGowan 2002).
Trend Justification: There are no data on population trends; however, this species is suspected to be in decline at a moderately rapid rate, owing primarily to logging.
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: It is a lowland forest specialist, rarely occurring up to 1,000 m (del Hoyo et al. 1994, Madge and McGowan 2002), but occurring at higher levels than L. pyronota. It has been recorded in logged forest, and appears less sensitive than L. rufa, having been recorded in logged forest outside the Danum Valley Conservation area, and even remnant patches of logged forest outside of the Semenggoh Forest Reserve, Kuching, Sarawak (D. L. Yong in litt. 2014)
Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Unknown
Generation Length (years): 5
Movement patterns: Not a Migrant
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Forest destruction in the Sundaic lowlands of Indonesia and Malaysia has been extensive (Kalimantan lost nearly 25% of its evergreen forest during 1985-1997) 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), and declines are compounded by trapping for the cage-bird trade. However, the speciess use of secondary growth implies that it is not immediately threatened.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Conservation Actions Underway
It occurs in a number of protected areas, including Danum Valley.
Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey to assess the size of the population. Regularly monitor the population at selected sites. Asses the effect of hunting across its range. Enforce the protection afforded to the species by protected areas. Protect large areas of unlogged forest in areas where it occurs. Establish a captive breeding population to support future reintroduction and supplementation efforts.
