List of Trogoniformes by population

This is a list of Trogoniformes species by global population. While numbers are estimates, they have been made by the experts in their fields. For more information on how these estimates were ascertained, see Wikipedia's articles on population biology and population ecology.

This list is not comprehensive, as not all Trogoniformes have had their numbers quantified.

(Amazonian black-throated trogon)

Trogon rufus 500,000 – 4,999,999[11] LC[11] Decrease[11] IOC taxonomic classifications split three additional species from this bird on the basis of genetic divergence: Northern, Atlantic, and Choco black-throated trogon.[12]

IUCN/BirdLife International maintain these are subspecies of black-throated trogon.[13]
