Despite there being almost five million flamingos in the world today, the total number of major flamingo breeding sites, worldwide, is thought probably to number fewer than 30. Although flamingos might be individually numerous, colonially and reproductively they are threatened in a world where people are altering their landscapes, causing the birds’ feeding and breeding sites to vanish. Not surprisingly, all six species are either threatened or listed as priority species for conservation under international conventions.
