Justification of Red List category
Ptilocichla falcata is endemic to Palawan (Philippines), where it is confined to intact lowland forests. In extent this habitat has declined moderately rapidly, and this is suspected to have had equivalent impacts on this species' population size. Declines are ongoing, with typhoons perhaps as big a threat now as logging, and from which no protected area is buffered. Accordingly it is listed as Vulnerable.

Population size: 5000-40000, 10000-30000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 17,300 km²

Country endemic: yes
