Justification of Red List category
The species has suffered a very rapid, ongoing population decline due to trapping for trade compounded by habitat loss. Local extinctions had been observed across much of the range within the past 10-15 years concurrent with price increases and reduced availability in the market. Recent information further suggests trade and harvest has continued at a rapid scale. For these reasons Sumatran Laughingthrush is evaluated as Endangered.
