Justification of Red List category
This species has a very 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). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not 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 was regarded as widespread and fairly common in the 1990s (del Hoyo et al. 2005).
Trend justification
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
Large Cuckooshrike has a very large distribution, occurring in the Himalayas from Northeast Pakistan east through Uttarakhand, Western Nepal, and Bhutan, into Northeastern India and Bangladesh, Myanmar, Southern and Southeastern China, Taiwan (China), North Laos, Northern Viet Nam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Java and Bali, Indonesia.
