The Nicobar parakeet faces threats from habitat loss and the illegal pet trade, which have led to a declining population. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, conservation efforts focus on protecting its island habitats. Responsible tourism helps by raising awareness and providing economic incentives for local communities to protect the parakeet and its environment.
