Justification of Red List category
Belocercus longicaudus is expected to have undergone a rapid population reduction in excess of 30% over the past three generations due to the continued loss of suitable habitat and trapping for the bird trade. There is also a projected reduction of more than 30% in its population over the next three generations due to the likely continuation of these threats. Although the species can utilise modified habitats, it is dependent on mature forest for nesting, and therefore is susceptible to habitat degradation alongside overall forest loss.
