| Citation | BirdLife International 2018. Psilopogon virens . The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2018: e.T22681591A130043742. https://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2018-2.RLTS.T22681591A130043742.en. Downloaded on 20 January 2020. | Description | JUSTIFICATION This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the threshold for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years of three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. DESCRIPTION The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common in India and local in Pakistan (del Hoyo et al. 2002), while the population in China has been estimated at c. 100-10,000 breeding pairs (Brazil 2009). Trend Justification: The species is tentatively assessed as being in decline due to habitat loss per Tracewski et al. (2016) and unsustainable levels of hunting. |
