Species by global population

Common name	Binomial name	Population	Status	Trend	Notes	Image
Andean flamingo	Phoenicoparrus andinus	38,000[1]	VU[1]	[1]	Maximum estimate. The population has been steadily decreasing, and current population is unknown.[1]
James's flamingo	Phoenicoparrus jamesi	106,000[2]	NT[2]	[2]	Estimated value from 2010 census. Actual population will likely be lower due to habitat loss.[2]
