6 thoughts on “Biak Hooded Pitta (Pitta rosenbergi): Revise global status?”
This species has seen a decline due to logging of the remaining good forests on Biak island. It is still found in few site on this island with decent forest patches especially on Supiori in the North.
There is an urgent need to protect these remaining good disturbed forests for the survival of this species.
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. We will now analyse and interpret the new information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’s Red List status on this page on 21 February 2022, when discussions will re-open.
Considering the observation that the loss of forest has resulted in a decline, it is considered that the rate of ongoing forest cover loss does provide evidence to infer a continuing decline in the area and quality of this species’s habitat.
Consequently, the proposed classification outlined in the initial forum discussion has been revised. Biak Hooded Pitta is now proposed to be listed as Near Threatened, approaching the thresholds for listing as threatened under Criterion B1b(iii).
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.
