Justification of Red List category
Himalayapsitta finschii is a widespread species that occurs in several different habitat types, including highly modified areas. However, the species is targeted for trade everywhere is occurs, and trade of the species is reportedly causing declines in several regions, most transparently in Laos. Although there has been roughly 15% of forest loss over the last three-generations, the pervasive impacts of trade suggest declines in the range of 20-29% and the species is consequentially listed as Near Threatened.
