Conservation

Rufous-breasted Sabrewing has a restricted geographic range, but the population appears to be stable, and its IUCN Red List conservation status is assessed as Least Concern (BirdLife International 2014). Rufous-breasted Sabrewing is included in Appendix II of CITES, as is the case with all hummingbirds, regardless of rarity (except for the Endangered Hook-billed Hermit Glaucis dohrnii, which is on Appendix I of CITES).

Effects of human activity on populations

Rufous-breasted Sabrewing is considered to be fairly common (Hilty 2003). No threats to this species are identified by BirdLife International (2014).
