At the 2^nd International Snowfinch Meeting at the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach, the exchange among researchers on high-elevation bird species clearly indicated that the widespread population decline and future perspectives of the White-winged Snowfinch deserves an increase in the IUCN red list categorisation. At the meeting, we  started that process by planning concrete analyses, publications and applications.
