5 thoughts on “Black-banded Barbet (Psilopogon javensis)”

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 temporarily closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 6 February 2023. We will now analyse and interpret new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 6 February 2023, when discussions will re-open.
Following comments made, the population trend of this species is changed from ‘Stable’ to ‘Declining’, on a precautionary assumption that trapping is causing a slow decline in this species. Nonetheless, there remains no evidence that it is causing a rapid decline (and, indeed, available trapping data appear to refute this) and the other elements of the assessment set out in the initial forum discussion are believed to remain valid. Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2023 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 12 February 2023, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2023 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2023, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
