Justification of Red List category
Caloperdix oculeus is listed as Near Threatened under Criterion A2cd+3cd+4cd. The species is widespread, but recent records suggest that it may have undergone a reduction in its range from loss of habitat, particularly in Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia where it has disappeared from certain regions. The additional impacts of hunting which are expected to impact the species across its range suggest a reduction in the population of 10-29% over three generations.
