Status The IUCN has assessed the red-crowned woodpecker as being of Least Concern. It has a large range and its estimated population of at least a half million mature individuals is believed to be stable. No immediate threats have been identified. It is considered common in most of its range and abundant in Costa Rica and Panama; it occurs in several protected areas. It might "benefit from forest clearance; numbers tend to increase in areas where thinning and clearance creates more open woodland."
