LC
Narrow-tailed Emerald Chlorostilbon stenurus



Justification

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. Density descriptions range from uncommon in Colombia (Hilty 2021) to fairly common or common (Stotz et al. 1996, Bündgen and Boesman 2020).

Trend justification
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.

Distribution and population

The species occurs in northeast Colombia and in west and northwest Venezuela.

Ecology

It inhabits shrubby borders of humid forests, secondary habitats and shrubland; it readily accepts disturbed and converted areas (Bündgen and Boesman 2020, Hilty 2021). Its ecology is not well known.
