The regent honeyeater is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List, and as endangered under both Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and Queensland’s Nature Conservation Act 1992. The Action Plan for Australian Birds 2010, compiled by researchers from Charles Darwin University and published in October 2011 by the CSIRO, added the regent honeyeater to the “critically endangered” list, giving habitat loss as the major threat.
