Justification of Red List category
This parakeet has a restricted range in Panama, where the remaining population is very small. Forests within the range are largely secure and not at imminent risk, and as such low levels of habitat loss are only driving a slow population decline. It is not clear whether trapping presents an additional risk. The species is therefore listed as Vulnerable.

Population size: 750-6000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 1,800 km²

Country endemic: yes
