SCIENTIFIC NAME: Aglaiocercus kingii berlepschi
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Venezuelan Sylph is a species of hummingbird that has a very small known range, within which suitable habitat is thought to be severely fragmented. For these reasons it is currently classified as Endangered by the IUCN Red List.
However, if further evidence reveals it has a larger range or that habitat fragmentation is not a serious concern then it may warrant downlisting. It is restricted to the eastern Venezuelan Coastal Range. It is threatened by the loss and degradation of its habitat. Its population is about 1500 - 7000.

CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Black-backed Thornbill is a species of hummingbird that is considered Endangered because it occupies a very small range, within which it has become apparent that suitable habitat is severely fragmented owing to deforestation, extensive burning and over-grazing.
The impoverished state of previously suitable habitat in some areas necessitates urgent work to study this species and its threats. It is found in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Campylopterus phainopeplus
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Santa Marta Sabrewing is a species of hummingbird that has a very small breeding and non-breeding ranges, within which it is known from few locations.
Habitat loss and degradation are continuing, and population and range declines are thus suspected. It, therefore, qualifies as Endangered. It is found only in Colombia. Its population size is about 1500 - 7000.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Amazilia boucardi
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Mangrove Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird found only in Costa Rica. Habitat destruction is reducing and severely fragmenting the naturally very small and disjunct range of this species (Collar et al. 1992). It consequently qualifies as Endangered. Its population size is about 1500 - 7000.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Eupherusa cyanophrys
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Blue-capped Hummingbird or Oaxaca hummingbird is a species of hummingbird endemic to subtropical moist forest in the southernmost portion of the Sierra Madre del Sur in the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Habitat is probably contiguous between the two areas from which this species is known.
The lack of records in these intervening areas is almost certainly indicative of the paucity of field studies. Even including these areas of presumed occurrence, the species is suspected to have a very small population size, which is likely declining as a result of habitat loss. Consequently it qualifies as Endangered. Its population size is about 600 - 1700.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Amazilia luciae
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Honduran Emerald is a species of hummingbird that is found only in Honduras. It qualifies as Endangered owing to its very small and severely fragmented range and population, both of which are suspected to be declining in response to habitat loss.
The species may be uplisted if improved knowledge shows that its population is smaller than currently estimated, or if improved knowledge or a worsening in the threats faced by species indicate that the rate of decline is more rapid than currently suspected. Its population size is about 250 - 999.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Aglaeactis aliciae
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Purple-backed Sunbeam is a species of hummingbird that is listed as Endangered because it has a single, very small population which is inferred to be declining owing to considerable ongoing habitat degradation through burning for cattle pasture and clearance of its favoured alder woodland habitat to make way for eucalyptus plantations. It is found only in Peru. Its population size is about 1000 - 2499.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Amazilia castaneiventris
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Chestnut-bellied Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird found only in Colombia. Its distribution appears to be restricted to the dryer parts of the Magdalena Valley, Colombia, with a core known range in the Chicamocha, Suárez and Chucurí river valleys.
This new information has indicated that the distribution range, availability of habitat, and population size of the species are larger than previously assumed, although it is not clear whether the population size and habitat suitability are still undergoing a decline. The species has therefore been downlisted to Near Threatened.
Its population size is about 10000 – 19999.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Heliangelus regalis
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Royal Sunangel is a species of hummingbird that is listed as Endangered because it has a very small and severely fragmented range at four locations where suitable habitat is declining.
It is endemic to subtropical elfin forests and shrubs in the Andes of northern Peru and adjacent south-eastern Ecuador. Its population size is about 2500 - 9999.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Metallura baroni
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Violet-throated Metaltail is a species of hummingbird that has a very small range with records from very few locations. Remaining habitat is fragmented and declining. It consequently qualifies as Endangered. It is only found in Ecuador. Its population size is about 600 - 1700.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Taphrolesbia griseiventris
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Grey-bellied Comet is a species of hummingbird that is considered Endangered because it has a very small range, being currently known from only five sites and appears to have been lost from parts of its former range, suggesting that the population and possibly the area of occupancy are declining.
In this context, the species' rarity indicates that the population may well be very small and comprised of extremely small, fragmented subpopulations. It is found only in a few small areas of Peru. Its population size is about 250 - 999.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Hylonympha macrocerca
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Scissor-tailed Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that is listed as Endangered because even though it appears to tolerate some habitat degradation, habitat loss and ongoing conversion of forest to agriculture are likely to be causing its already very small range to decline in extent and quality. It is restricted entirely to the Paria Peninsula of Venezuela. Its population size is about 3000 - 4000.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Loddigesia mirabilis
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Marvellous Spatuletail is a species of hummingbird endemic to Peru. There are recent records of this species from just two locations and the known range is very small. Little demographic information is available, but the best-known population seems to be declining. It is therefore considered Endangered. Its population size is about 250 - 999.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Selasphorus ardens
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Glow-throated Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that is native to the Talamancan montane forests of western Panama and generally is found along edge habitats. This species has been uplisted from Vulnerable because of a re-assessment of its subpopulation structure that indicates it is more susceptible to extinction than previously thought. It is listed as Endangered on the basis that its declining population is very small and forms a single subpopulation. Its population size is about 250 - 999.

CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Perijá Metaltail is a species of hummingbird that is endemic to páramo and elfin forest at high altitudes of the Perijá Mountains in Colombia and Venezuela.
This species is known only from two locations within a very small range, where its specialised habitat is very restricted and declining. It is listed as Endangered because habitat loss and degradation is almost certainly now impacting the known location.

SCIENTIFIC NAME: Glaucis dohrnii
CONSERVATION STATUS: Endangered (Population decreasing)
The Hook-billed Hermit is a species of hummingbird that qualifies as Endangered owing to the massive deforestation throughout its range which has reduced it to a few fragmented subpopulations likely to be declining as a result of continued habitat loss.
It is found in humid forests in eastern Brazil, with recent records from the states of Espírito Santo and Bahia only. Its population size is about 250 - 999.
