Surprisingly, Red-footed Boobies are quite common, so don't worry at all.

The Red-footed booby is not endangered but currently has a conservation status of "least concern". Where surveys have been done, numbers of adult birds have fallen by 67% between 1979 and 2003, but this does not accurately reflect an overall pattern throughout their entire habitat range.

Main threats to the status of the red-footed booby include loss of habitat as humans continue develop coastal areas; and the fact that their feeding grounds are thinned out by the fishing industry.

What does the blue footed booby contribute to the environment?

The blue footed booby lives with two other species of booby, but they have different feeding and nesting areas, for example the blue footed booby lives on the ground and the red footed nests in trees. The red footed flies farther away from shore to hunt for fish than the blue footed. They can thus live in close proximity with each other, and many other seabirds.


Are the blue footed boobys in danger?

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".
