| 2007 IUCN Red List Category (as evaluated by BirdLife International - the official Red List Authority for birds for IUCN): Least Concern Family/Sub-family Phasianidae Species name author (Gmelin, 1789) Taxonomic source(s) Dowsett and Forbes-Watson (1993), Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993) |
Summary This species has a large range, with an estimated global Extent of Occurrence of 4,700,000 kmē. The global population size has not been quantified, but it is believed to be large as the species is described as 'common' in at least parts of its range (del Hoyo et al. 1994, Fuller et al. 2000). Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e. declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern. |
