Conservation
Conservation Status
Cayenne Nightjar is known with certainty from a single specimen, collected in 1917. With so little known about this species, its IUCN Red List conservation status is regarded as Data Deficient (BirdLife International 2014). Presumably the geographic range of this nightjar is not very large, but what is presumed to be suitable habitat still is present at the type locality, and so "there is no reason why the species may not still be extant" (BirdLife International 2014).
Effects of human activity on populations
Human activity probably has little short-term direct effect on Cayenne Nightjar, other than the local effects of habitat destruction; but this is difficult to evaluate, given that the species is unknown in life, and its habitat has not been documented.
