• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: In danger of extinction.
• Population trend: Decreasing.
• Population size : Unknown.
Justification of the Red List of the Category
Based on a model of deforestation in the amazon basin, and their potential susceptibility to capture for the bird trade, It is suspected that the population of the Hellmayr's Parakeet It has declined rapidly over three generations, and therefore it has been classified as danger of extinction.
Justification of the population
Recent world population is unknown given taxonomic divisions.
Justification trend
This species is suspected that he has been able to lose 43,0 to 52,1% of suitable habitat within their distribution over three generations (18 years) based on a model of deforestation of the Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the . 2006, Bird et to the. 2011). Given the susceptibility of this species to capture, It suspected population decline by 50% in three generations.
