5 thoughts on “Perija Antpitta (Grallaria saltuensis): Revise global status?”
Just one cautionary remark. As I pointed out for Scytalopus perjianus in last year’s assessment process, the Global Forest Watch data seem anomalous, too optimistic and markedly at odds with existing satellite studies and ground-truth data (on checking, I see that this applies to data for the Mérida Andes as well). Please see my comments there.
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.
Based on information from Global Forest Watch (2022), the rate of tree cover loss is very low, not exceeding or approaching the threshold for listing as threatened under Criterion A. We cannot rule out that deforestation rates are locally higher; therefore we would greatly appreciate any indication where to obtain additional information from existing satellite studies and ground-truthed data. Until such new data becomes available to us, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.2 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 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.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Perija Antpitta is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the threshold for listing as threatened under Criteria B1ab(ii,iii,v)+2ab(ii,iii,v); D1.
