Conservation
Conservation Status
At the global level the conservation status of Lesser Violetear is rated as Least Concern (BirdLife International 2011). No conservation or management programs are known for this species.

Effects of human activity on populations
Human activity probably has little direct effect on Lesser Violetear, other than the local effects of habitat destruction. Since Lesser Violetear prefers open, shrubby habitats, rather than closed-canopy forest, however, it may even benefit from intermediate levels of habitat disturbance.
