What regional database lists the status of the species as Least Concern (LC)?
The Thai National Parks database
There exists a significant disparity between global and regional assessments of the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher's status. Specifically, the Thai National Parks database lists the species status locally as Least Concern (LC). This suggests that within Thailand's core, protected tropical areas or specific reserves, the species may be relatively common, well-monitored, and secure enough to warrant a less worrying classification. This local abundance contrasts with the broader, global Near Threatened assessment which reflects cumulative negative impacts across the entirety of its fragmented range where habitat loss is more pronounced.
