replies: text: The conservation status is the world status of this very abundant wader. The status of the NAm form is covered in the text, so there is no contradiction. Jimfbleak 06:24, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I've reviewed the IUCN Red List requirements and understand the ranking. "Global population trends have not been quantified, but the species is not believed to approach the thresholds for the population decline criterion of the IUCN Red List (i.e., declining more than 30% in ten years or three generations). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as Least Concern." Still, I personally feel that requiring such substantial declines in worldwide population before even raising a red flag (i.e. "near threatened" status) is unfortunate. As far as the purposes of the Red List it is probably sufficient, but for the average Wikipedia consumer I think it sends the wrong signal. Prairie hiker 18:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The world population is about 1100000, so it hardly threatened numerically, and any global decline (if there is any - no data for this) is not steep. The status of rufa is clear in the article, although I should point out that no references are given for the claimed vulnerability, and the US government does not seem particularly concerned.

thread_title: American subspecies

message: The US government is not concerned about any environmental issue at this point.  Half the Earth would have to look like the face of the moon before D.C. got "concerned."  Anyway, the issue, according to Nature on PBS, is deadly serious.  I'll post a link on the site and one here.

message: Although the Red Knot's status is listed as Near Threatened in the side bar, under Status it is still said to be Least Concern. Somebody should change this. Aythya affinis (talk) 19:31, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
