The distribution of the species is wide, there is no evidence of threats capable of putting the species at risk of extinction in the near future and there is no evidence of population decline (ICMBio, 2017). Therefore, the LC proposal for this species seems appropriate.
Specific questions
– What is the population size? What is the population structure? Is there evidence that the species forms several small subpopulations?
A: Unknown.
– Is it plausible that the population declines at <20% over three generations (26.4 years)?
A: Yes. See “Critério A”.
– What is the impact of trapping on the population size?
A: Unknown
In the Brazilian national extinction risk assessment conducted in 2017, the species was categorised as Least Concern (LC).
*Assessors*: Alexandre Luis Padovan Aleixo; Carlos Martínez Ruiz; Diego Mendes Lima; Edson Varga Lopes; Pablo Vieira Cerqueira; Sidnei de Melo Dantas; Túlio Dornas de Oliveira.
*Criterion A* – cannot be applied, as there are no data on population reduction over three generations based on (a) direct observation or (b) abundance index. Furthermore, (c) declines in AOO and EOO do not reach the thresholds for a threat category. Habitat loss calculations performed with tools available on MapBiomas (https://mapbiomas.org/) and Google Engine (https://earthengine.google.com/), between 1982 and 2017, in areas of forest formation indicate loss of 12.98% in three generations. Generational time of 12.3 years (BirdLife International, 2017).
*Criterion B* – not applicable, as the EOO (2,730,845 km²) and AOO calculations exceed the thresholds required by the criterion.
*Criterion C* – there are no observed, estimated, projected or inferred data on the number of mature individuals and population decline.
*Criterion D* – does not apply, because in addition to the lack of population data, its population is not very small or restricted.
*Criterion E* – There is no PVA data.
*Justification*: Amazona kawalli occurs in the Central Amazon, in the states of Amazonas, Mato Grosso, Pará and Rondônia. It needs little or no disturbed habitats for its survival. However, there is no evidence of severe threats and its distribution is wide, including large tracts of intact habitat. Thus, A. kawalli was categorized as Least Concern (LC).

Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested by so many people in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 21 February 2022. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’s Red List status on this page on 21 February 2022, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.1 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 27 February 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final 2022.1 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in July 2022, 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, but the account for this species has been updated to incorporate additional information from this discussion. White-faced Amazon is recommended to be listed as Least Concern.

Updates needed
re: population loss, environmental/ecological impact of recent and damaging massive fires needed.
re: Covid-related impact on population assessment and trafficking
re: population loss, environmental/ecological impact of extractive industries and toxic spills needed.

Currently no indication of any international trade in this species. I have no data on domestic trade which is plausible around Manaus
