Population justification: Based on recent surveys within various parts of the species's range, C. Trainor in litt. (2016) has estimated the global population at fewer than 3,000 individuals: Sumba perhaps as few as 563 on Sumba in 2012 (Burung Indonesia in prep), 500 on Komodo, 200-300 on Timor Leste, 200-300 on Sulawesi, 20-50 on West Timor (with a potential sighting of 60 individuals in 2013), 40-70 on Flores, 50-100 on Sumbawa, 100 on Rinca and c.700 other birds in total. This total is roughly equivalent to 2,000 mature individuals, and so the global population size is best placed in the range 1,000-2,499 mature individuals.
Trend justification: This species has declined extremely rapidly owing to international trade in the species and widespread deforestation within its range. Declines have been documented in recent years, even where trade is not so obvious, such as on Komodo where an estimated decline of 60% occurred between 2000 and 2005.
