Population justification: The population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as locally common (Baptista et al. 1997, 2020).
It has been hypothesised that it may occur at a similar density to related species (Leptotrygon veraguensis: 1 mature individual/km2; Geotrygon violacea: 8 mature individuals/km2; Geotrygon montana: 8 mature individuals/km2; Renjifo et al. 2016 and references therein). Under the tentative assumption that 40% of forests within the range are occupied (i.e., 800 km2; Global Forest Watch 2022), the global population may number 800-6,400 mature individuals.
Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated. The species occurs in a remote range, in which large tracts of pristine forests remain (Renjifo et al. 2016, Global Forest Watch 2022). Tree cover loss is currently negligible within the range (<1% over three generations; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Therefore, in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats, the population is suspected to be stable.
