Conservation Status
The worldwide population of the Siskin is estimated as between 20 and 36 million. The European population is estimated as between 2.7 and 15 million pairs. There does not seem to be a major decline in population numbers and for this reason the IUCN has listed their conservation status as Least Concern. The Siskin appears in Annex II of the Berne Convention as a protected bird species.
