Justification of Red List category
This boobook is endemic to Mindanao and its satellites, where it is relatively widespread in remaining lowland forest. Because of forest loss caused by timber extraction and conversion to plantations, the population is believed to be declining moderately rapidly (15-25% over three generations: c. 16 years). Accordingly, it is listed as Near Threatened.

Population size: unknown
