5 thoughts on “Turquoise Dacnis (Dacnis hartlaubi)”
It is true this is a range-restricted species, but it is likely that the rates of population decline are lower than initially suspected. This is a species commonly observed in productive landscapes, frequently associated with human-altered habitat types such as coffee farms. However, the species seems to depend on the maintenance of a complex landscape structure where forest fragments and arboreal cover (e.g., shade-grown coffee systems) are present. Listing the species as NT seems reasonable for the time being. It perplexes me the fact that no efforts have been conducted at estimating abundance/density of this species, which is not difficult to observe when present in a given locality.
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
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Turquoise Dacnis is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the thresholds for listing as threatened under Criterion C2a(i).
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.
