Conservation and Management
Conservation Status
Blue-throated Goldentail has a large geographic range, and its population appears to be increasing; consequently this species is asssessed as of Least Concern species globally (BirdLife International 2013),. It also is not considered to be threatened under Mexican law. Blue-throated Goldentail is included in Appendix II of CITES, as is the case with all hummingbirds, regardless of rarity (except for the Endangered Hook-billed Hermit Glaucis dohrnii, which is on Appendix I of CITES).
Effects of Human Activity
Human activity probably has little short term effect on Blue-throated Goldentail; no threats are identified by BirdLife International (2013).
