Overview:

Critically Endangered

Conservation Status

IUCN Red List: CR Critically Endangered

NatureServe: G1 Critically Imperiled

US Endangered Species Act: Endangered. The Crested honeycreeper was first listed on March 11, 1967. It is currently designated as Endangered in the Entire Range. Within the area covered by this listing, this species is known to occur in: Hawaii. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Pacific Region (Region 1) is the lead region for this entity. More info.

Population Trend:

Stable

History:

• 1988-Threatened (Collar and Andrew 1988)
• 1994-Vulnerable (Collar, Crosby and Stattersfield 1994)
• 2000-Vulnerable (BirdLife International 2000)

Threats:

• 1.1.4.3 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Agriculture - Livestock - Agro-industry (past)
• 1.3.3.3 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Extraction - Wood - Clear-cutting (past)
• 1.5 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Invasive alien species (ongoing)
• 1.8 Habitat Loss/Degradation - Other causes (ongoing)
• 2.2 Invasive alien species (directly affecting the species) - Predators (ongoing)
• 2.4 Invasive alien species (directly affecting the species) - Pathogens/parasites (ongoing)
• 7.2 Natural disasters - Storms/flooding (future)

Justification

This species has been uplisted to Critically Endangered because habitat within its extremely small range is now being degraded through grazing by feral goats, with an imminent threat from feral deer posing a new pressure. It remains at risk from the effects of exotic taxa. A particular concern is the possible introduction of a disease-carrying mosquito species tolerant of the cooler climate at higher altitudes, thereby bringing currently safe populations of birds into contact with lethal diseases.
