Conservation
This species has a very large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
The Plain Leaf-Warbler (Phylloscopus neglectus) is a species of Old World warbler in the Sylviidae family. It is found in Afghanistan, Bahrain, India, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Oman, Pakistan, Russia, Sweden, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan.
