==Status==

The red-browed amazon used to be abundant in its rainforest habitat but its numbers appear to have decreased significantly. About 2,300 individuals were counted in Espírito Santo during a survey undertaken between 2004 and 2006 and it remains common at a few sites in the state such as on the island of [[Ilha Grande]], at [[Sooretama, Espírito Santo|Sooretama]] and nearby [[Linhares]]. The major threat faced by this parrot is habitat degradation with less than ten percent of the original forest cover remaining in Espírito Santo. Most of the land has been cleared of timber and converted to pasture and plantations. Another threat is the illegal collection of young birds for the international pet trade.<ref name=IUCN/> This bird is present in several wildlife reserves but is not effectively protected against [[poaching]] even there. For all these reasons, the [[IUCN]], in its [[Red List of Endangered Species]], has assessed the Red-browed amazon as "[[EndangeredVulnerable species|EndangeredVulnerable]]".<ref name=IUCN/>
