Principally threatened by the wild bird trade (legal and illegal) and habitat loss/degradation. Although these two threats often act in concert, trapping has driven local declines and extinctions despite the presence of suitable habitat in Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Ghana, Liberia (details given in sections 4.4 and 6.5). Deforestation rates in many range States have historically been extremely high and continued declines are predicted (see section 4.1). Additionally, domestic trade in live birds, bush meat and regional trade in body parts for medicine and magic also likely impact populations to a lesser degree (see section 6.1).
