7 thoughts on “Ochraceous Attila (Attila torridus)”
I have serious doubts about this, given the fact that reliable information on this species is basically non-existent. Assuming that the species’ global population is > 10.000 individuals is quite a long shot! However, the only information available (based on remote sensing and landcover data) do not support including this bird in any threatened category. Until more accurate distributional and ecological information is available (which probably will take quite long time to be available), listing the species as LC seems the only viable thing to do here.
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.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
Based on available information and following information received from Manuel Sanchez Nivecela, our proposal for the 2024 Red List is to pend the decision on this species and keep the discussion open, while leaving the current Red List category unchanged.
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.
As stated a few months ago, I was not sure about downlisting the species, but available information did not clearly support retaining it as VU. It seems information provided by Manuel helped clarifying this, which is very positive. Will this new information be available at some point to anyone interested in this discussion? It would be nice if the rationale of leaving the current category (VU) unchanged is clear to everyone.

A mail was sent to the red list team. +Assessment
