This species may have a very small population, which is threatened by deforestation. It is therefore listed as Near Threatened. If the population was found to be in decline, it might qualify for a higher threat category.
I request the following to ensure the future of the Henst's Goshawk in Madagascar please ; 1. Conduct surveys to establish an up-to-date estimate of its population and range. 2. Study the species's ecology. 3. Monitor rates of deforestation across its range. 4. Secure habitat through protected area status.
