Justification of Red List category
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common in the Phillipines (Robson 2000).
Trend justification
This population is suspected to be in decline owing to habitat destruction (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Coracina striata ranges from Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia to the Philippines (del Hoyo et al. 2005). The race cebuensis, endemic to the Philippine island of Cebu, became extinct in the early 20th century (Rabor 1959).
