The Red-footed Boobies are suffering from human related causes. These are major factors in the decline of the Red-footed Booby, their nesting sites are being destroyed by the coastal growth. The clearing of trees and brush from the coast lines leaves the Booby with no place to nest. The Booby is also suffering from over fishing by the commercial fishing industry, which is depleting the common food sources of the Booby. These birds feed at sea, and suffer from pollution, which includes oil spills, and trash that is being dumped in our oceans, along with the toxins ingested from the fish they eat. Despite these hazards the Red-footed Booby is not listed as "endangered", according to the International Union of Conservation for Nature, or IUCN Red List, they are listed with a status of "least concern".
