Conservation
Conservation Status
The IUCN Red List conservation status of Vermilion Tanager is listed as Least Concern (BirdLife International 2015). It received this categorization due to its large estimated range, about 99,100 km2, and although, population size has not been quantified, there is no evidence of population declines or major threats (BirdLife International 2015). Parker et al. (1996) considered this species to be of "medium" conservation priority relative to other Neotropical birds. This species is not considered globally threatened, due to its large estimated range and large population (Hilty 2011). There is evidence of population declines in some areas (Salaman et al. 2007).
Effects of human activity on populations
Parker et al. (1996) considered the Vermilion Tanager to have a high degree of sensitivity to human disturbance relative to other Neotropical birds. There are no parks or reserves known to preserve populations of this species in Colombia, and deforestation may have a significant impact there. Although deforestation and fragmentation is occurring in Ecuador and Peru, it occurs within formally protected parks in both of these countries, providing opportunities for long-term survival (Hilty 2011).
Vermilion Tanager is known from the following protected areas: Colombia: apparently not known from nationally protected areas, but recorded near Cueva de los Guacharos National Park (eBird 2012); Ecuador: Sangay National Park, Llanganatas National Park, Podocarpus National Park; Ecuador and Peru: El Condor Bi-national Park; and Peru: Tingo Maria National Park, Cordillera Azul National Park, and Bosque de Protección Alto Mayo (Ridgely and Greenfield 2001, Rosas 2003, Hilty 2011).
