Threatened species of Eutriorchis astur
Other Names:
Threatened species of Madagascar serpent-eagle Nature:
Eutriorchis astur numbers must be very low and are certainly declining with extensive habitat clearance and disturbance, and probable human persecution.
Incidence:
Two recent records in reserves at Marojejy, September 1988, and Ambatovaky, February 1990, and two more from the Masoala peninsula (in an area targeted as a major new national park), during 1993--1994, confirm its survival, and local reports from the Maroantsetra region indicate the existence there of a raptor fitting its description. However Eutriorchis astur is likely to experience at least a 25% decline with severe fragmentation, within the next three generations.
The Madagascar Serpent-Eagle is listed as "Critically Endangered" by the IUCN. CITES lists the species as "Appendix 2".
