Burung Indonesia currently conducting bird species survey in Peleng Island, where total 11 area representing different habitat type, altitute, land cover in east, central and western part of the island were surveyed. Initial result showed that Banggai scops-owl observed in all sites. the sites varies in altitute and each represent parts of the island (east, west and central),
Banggai scops-owl was observed in almost habitat type in Peling island such as forest, plantation, agroforest, bamboo, palm thicket, woodland and easily identified by its call.
No threats from poaching are recorded, as this species is highly respected by the local people of Peleng island and considered a taboo to hunt them
The main threat of biodiversity in Peleng island are the loss of habitat from slash and burn for agricultural activity and unsustainable use natural resources by the community. these threats occur in most of the island, and given that 98% of the island were composed of karst ecosystems and small island, the future impact of the threat will be severe
Thus, we agree with the proposed status of Banggai scops-owl as Near Threatened
Burung Indonesia are currently conducting conservation actions on the island to tackle the aforementioned issues with several approach being implemented (CB-PA, awareness and education, also mainstreaming endemic biodiversity in to government policy and program.
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.
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. We are grateful for the comment made by J. S. Udin on 18/06/2023, which is supportive of the proposal of Near Threatened. The information provided (particularly that pertaining to habitat tolerances and recent survey effort) has been incorporated into 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.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Banggai Scops-owl is recommended to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the threshold for listing as threatened under Criterion B1b(iii).
