7 thoughts on “White-browed Tit-spinetail (Leptasthenura xenothorax)”
As I wrote before for Syndactyla ruficollis, all species that are under some habitat loss pressure are at some level of endangerment.
The questions posted for each species included in the forum require financial levels that are not available in most countries in South America. I assume that this Forum is aware if that. Birdlife should assure that the money needed for research to answer those questions is obtained. There are not enough conservation funding entities that enclose this subject.
I can actually fill all species in the current Forum with the same comment included above.
Some species are more threatened than others but all species that are under some habitat loss pressure are actually threatened.
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.
Birdlife International Red List Team is not answering what has been posted, just decided what they think it should be. The species is endemic in the country so that it could be tried to manage this despite the underfunding. The really bad side is that non charismatic endangered species are very far from being a research or conservation priority.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
Many thanks to those who contributed to this discussion. While the ongoing unchecked progression of habitat loss, even if slow, will endanger all species that depend on a limited or restricted habitat type, the application of the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria allows the assessment of the relative extinction risk of species. Those that do not currently meet thresholds for listing as threatened are of lower immediate concern than those that do. This species is suspected to be declining and the threats thought to be affecting it are accounted for in the assessment. However, available data suggest that its previous listing as Endangered can no longer be maintained; there is currently no evidence that it meets the necessary thresholds for listing as threatened under any criterion according to IUCN Red List Guidelines. As such, the final categorisation for this species has not changed. White-browed Tit-spinetail is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the thresholds for listing as threatened under Criteria B1ab(iii);C2a(ii).
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.
