Chestnut-bellied Cotinga (Doliornis remseni): Revise global status?

5 thoughts on “Chestnut-bellied Cotinga (Doliornis remseni): Revise global status?

  1. Dear all,

    This species it’s particular rare in upper montane forest with certain terrain conditions (landscape?).

    In Ecuador, we considered D. remseni, Vulnerable under this criteria: B1ab(ii,iii); C2a(i) for the Ecuador Red List (Freile et al. 2019)

    Records are scarce and very localized on ridges were habitat it’s logged or fragmented.

    I’ll suggest that maintaining this rare and poorly known montane cotinga as VU, it’s the most conservative and prudent option.

  2. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 18 July 2022. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 18 July 2022, when discussions will re-open.

  3. Preliminary proposal

    Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.2 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion. We recognise that the population size is likely small; however, the current level of data quality only allows to suspect a population reduction and as such is insufficient to justify a listing as threatened under Criterion C.

    There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 24 July 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN. The final 2022.2 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 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. Chestnut-bellied Cotinga is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the threshold for listing as threatened under Criterion C2a(i).

    Many thanks for everyone who contributed to the 2022.2 GTB Forum process. The final 2022.2 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
