Norfolk Island Gerygone (Gerygone modesta): Revise global status?

5 thoughts on “Norfolk Island Gerygone (Gerygone modesta): Revise global status?

  1. I agree with revising global status to LC, as Gerygone population appears to be stable, with a documented wide distribution across the island. Some nests do experience depredation by Rattus sp. however nest survival remains high, and no other documented threats are known. Due to their limited global range however, I would suggest continued monitoring as a management priority to ensure any declines are detected quickly and subsequent management action is rapid.

  2. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested by so many people in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 21 February 2022.

  3. Preliminary proposal

    Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.1 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.

    There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 27 February 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.

    The final 2022.1 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in July 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
