Species

Justification
This species has a small range within which there have been population declines in some areas owing to habitat loss. However, the range is not yet severely fragmented or restricted to few locations. The species therefore qualifies as Near Threatened.

Distribution and population
Geotrygon goldmani consists of two recognised subspecies within a relatively restricted range. The nominate race occurs in montane forests of east Panama, San Blas and Darién provinces, Panama, and extreme north-west Colombia. The race oreas is uncommon within a minute range on Cerro Chucantí, but may occur more widely in Serranía de Majé, east Panama (Hilty and Brown 1986, Ridgely and Gwynne 1989, Baptista et al. 1997).

Population justification
The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon' (Stotz et al. 1996).

Trend justification
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.

Ecology
It is very poorly known, but locally common in undergrowth of humid forest at 750-1,600 m in east Darién, Panama, but to 90 m in Colombia (Baptista et al. 1997).

Threats
Although much of its highland forests are relatively pristine, owing to their inaccessibility and formal protection, some partial deforestation has occurred within national parks on the western fringe of its range, while the proposed Pan-American Highway through Darién could also have detrimental effects if plans for its construction are revived (Ridgely and Gwynne 1989, Dinerstein et al. 1995, Stattersfield et al. 1998).

Conservation actions underway
None is known.

Conservation actions proposed
Study its ecology. Census and monitor the population. Improve the management of national parks within the species's range. Increase the area of suitable habitat that has protected status.
