Justification of Red List category
Although uncertain, data from both the non-breeding range and from migration sites indicate that the population has been declining at a moderately rapid to rapid rate of at least 20% over the past three generations. The population size and range remain large. The drivers of these declines are uncertain and require investigation, though actions to secure the availability of favoured temporary shallow wetlands at key points in the annual cycle are expected to benefit the species. As rates of population reduction approach threatened thresholds, Long-billed Dowitcher is assessed as Near Threatened.
