Justification of Red List category
This raptor is endemic to the Philippines, where it is confined to Luzon and Mindoro in the country's north. It is confined to forest which has been heavily depleted and now likely has a population below 2,500 mature individuals. Given ongoing pressures of habitat loss, and perhaps hunting, declines are thought to be ongoing and therefore the species is interpreted as being at a high risk of extinction. It is accordingly listed as Endangered.

Population size: 1000-2000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 233,000 km²

Country endemic: yes
