Antioquia Wren (Thryophilus sernai): Revise global status?

  1. New distribution maps using the method described in Huang, et al. (2021, Batch-produced, GIS-informed range maps for birds based on provenanced, crowd-sourced data inform conservation assessments, PLoS ONE 16(11): e0259299. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0259299) suggest the range of this species is smaller than the previous assessment. Huang et al. find the Area of Habitat (AoH) to be 1,879 km2; the area of the previously published range map was 3,232 km2, meaning the new range map is 58% the size of the previous map. This may be in concordance with the new map shown in Annex 2, above, and it is likely the map by Huang et al. better represents the species’s range, than the previously published map.

    Despite the reduction in range size from the previous map, I support the proposed downlisting of the species from EN to VU under the application of IUCN Red List Criteria in Annex 2.

  2. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested by so many people in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 21 February 2022. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’s Red List status on this page on 21 February 2022, when discussions will re-open.

  3. Preliminary proposal

    Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.1 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.

    There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 27 February 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.

    The final 2022.1 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in July 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

  5. Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN

    The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Antioquia Wren is recommended to be listed as Vulnerable under Criteria A3c+4c; B1ab(i,ii,iii,iv).

    Many thanks for everyone who contributed to the 2022.1 GTB Forum process. The final 2022.1 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in July 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
