Justification of Red List category
This species is currently not thought to be at imminent risk, as large tracts of suitable habitat remain within its remote range. The population is however small and the species is therefore assessed as Near Threatened.

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.

The species occurs in Panama and Colombia.
It consists of two recognised subspecies: The nominate subspecies goldmani occurs in montane forests of east Panama, San Blas and Darién provinces, Panama, and adjacent extreme north-west Colombia. Subspecies oreas is uncommon within a minute range on Cerro Chucantí, but may occur more widely in Serranía de Majé, east Panama (Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Gwynne 1989, Baptista et al. 1997).

It inhabits the undergrowth of humid forests in the foothills and lower highlands (Baptista et al. 2020). It occurs at elevations of 650-1,600 m in east Darién, Panama, but to 90 m in Colombia (Baptista et al. 1997).

Although much of its highland forests are relatively pristine owing to their inaccessibility and formal protection, some partial deforestation is occurring in lower elevations outside of the species' range (Renjifo et al. 2016, Global Forest Watch 2022). It cannot be ruled out that there may be encroachment into the range in the future, but projections point to minimal habitat loss over the next decades (per Negret et al. 2021).

Conservation Actions Underway
The species occurs within several protected areas across its range, including Chagres and Darién National Parks, Panama, and Los Katíos National Park, Colombia. It is listed as Vulnerable at the national level in Colombia (Renjifo et al. 2016).

Conservation Actions Proposed
Survey to locate additional population and refine the distribution range. Accurately quantify the population size. Study its ecology and population structure. Monitor the population trend. Increase the area of suitable habitat that has protected status.
