Taxonomic note
Psophia viridis, P. dextralis and P. obscura (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as P. viridis following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993).

Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as uncommon to locally fairly common (Stotz et al. 1996, del Hoyo et al. 2022).

Trend justification: The species is reportedly declining, as a consequence of habitat loss and fragmentation in combination with hunting for food, and is now restricted to remote areas far away from human settlements and disturbance (del Hoyo et al. 2022).
Over the past three generations (21.8 years), 15% of tree cover has been lost within the range; since 2017 this has been increasing to a rate equivalent to 18% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). This species is described as extremely sensitive to forest fragmentation, edge-effects and anthropogenic disturbance (del Hoyo et al. 2022). Precautionarily it is therefore suspected that overall habitat loss exceeds the rate of tree cover loss by half, suggesting an overall rate of habitat loss of 22-23% over the past three generations and accelerating to 27% over three generations from 2017 onward.
The impact of hunting on the population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as susceptible (A. Lees in litt. 2020, del Hoyo et al. 2022). In the absence of a quantification of the impact it is tentatively suspected that hunting contributes an additional c.5% to the rate of population decline, though an exact estimate is urgently required. Tentatively, past declines are therefore here placed in the band 25-29% over three generations, with the rate accelerating to 30-49% from 2017 onward.
