Population plan

With a population that was never big to start with, it is highly possible the genetic diversity of this bird is affected by the twin pressures of trapping and urban development.

Jurong Bird Park is part of the Global Species Management Plan (GSMP) under the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) for this species.

We work with other zoos to care for and breed them, with a view on increasing overall population size and gene pool for long-term sustainability.

The IUCN Status

Critically Endangered

At extremely high risk of extinction in the wild
