The justification for revision appears to do a good job of integrating several sources on existing information (e.g., population estimate, habitat amount and trend). The development of monitoring programs for Mo’orean birds and forest cover/land use changes will be important to conservation of the species.
With limited data, this proposal does a good job of integrating various forms of information to designate the species as vulnerable. The vulnerable designation comes about from the decreasing population trend and the decreased habitat.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 18 July 2022. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 18 July 2022, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2022.2 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 24 July 2022, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN. The final 2022.2 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2022, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Moorea Kingfisher is recommended to be listed as Vulnerable under Criterion C2a(ii).

I agree with the proposed changes that are based on new data and seem reasonable given the ongoing habitat loss and degradation.
