  1. Based on my visits to Enggano island in 2020 and 2021, the species is still common in the island and no indication of hunting. However, I just thinking that Near Threatened is good for this species.

  2. 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 26 June 2023. 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 26 June 2023, when discussions will re-open.

  3. Preliminary proposal

    Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2023 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion. In response to the comment made by M. Iqbal on 06/06/2023, if there is no indication that the species is declining (which seems likely in the absence of substantial habitat loss or hunting) then considering the other parameters discussed in the original proposal, the species does not meet or approach the thresholds for listing as threatened under any Criteria. Accordingly, it can only be listed as Least Concern according to IUCN Guidelines. The explicit information that this species is not hunted has been added to the species factsheet.

    There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 2 July 2023, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.

    The final 2023 Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in December 2023, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.
