Justification of Red List category
Gallicolumba luzonica is listed as Near Threatened under Criteria C1. There is high uncertainty in the species' population size, though the overall population is very likely below 10,000 individuals. The species is suspected to be undergoing continuing declines in the population due to continued degradation of its habitat, forest loss, hunting and trade, and the potential local extinction of several small populations. However, current evidence means continuing declines are only suspected.
