Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'common' (Stotz et al. 1996). This species is suspected to lose 16.8-19.4% of suitable habitat within its distribution over 15 years based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by 0-25% over three generations.
Trend justification: This species is suspected to lose 16.8-19.4% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (15 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is therefore suspected to decline by <25% over three generations.
