6 thoughts on “Green-throated Euphonia (Euphonia chalybea)”
Least Concern seems appropriate. This was also the conclusion of the last Brazilian national assessment, carried out in 2019.
Most of the species’ EOO is in Brazil, and according to the national assessment, in Brazil, the high rates of deforestation in the distribution area of E. chalybea may be a threat, but the species also occupies forest edges, areas with secondary growth and there is no evidence that it can reach the thresholds of extinction risk in the near future (Silveira et al, 2023). There is no information about the population or its trend.

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 12 February 2024. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 12 February 2024, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2024 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 18 February 2024, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2024 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2024, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
The following comment was received from Rob Clay while the window for consultation was temporarily closed:
“In Paraguay the species was considered Endangered during the most recent national assessment (2017) due to ongoing loss and degradation of its Atlantic Forest habitat, and an inferred small population size. After a spate of records in the early 1990s, there has only been one recent record in the country, in 2013. Most records in the country are from the austral winter, though specimens have been collected during the spring. It may follow a longitudinal migration pattern, such as a number of other Atlantic Forest species. There has been no quantification of the Paraguayan population.”

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Green-throated Euphonia is recommended to be listed as Least Concern.
Many thanks for everyone who contributed to the 2024.1 GTB Forum process. The final 2024 Red List categories will now be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in October 2024, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
