Please save the Cuban Kite (Chondrohierax wilsonii)

  • da: Frans Badenhorst
  • destinatario: Minister Rosa Elena Simeón Negrín.- Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, National Capitol. Industria y San José, La Habana Vieja. La Habana

This species has declined rapidly and now has an extremely small population, confined to a single area. There is a continuing decline in numbers and hence it qualifies as Critically Endangered.

Dear Minister

Please consider the following regarding the Cuban Kite :  The decline is mainly attributed to habitat destruction and alteration caused by logging and agricultural conversion. Farmers persecute the species because they (mistakenly) believe that it preys on poultry 

 CITES Appendix II. A project to improve land protection, determine the number of individuals in the study area and surroundings, improve ecological knowledge and increase national and local awareness commenced in 2010 (A. Kirkconnell in litt. 2012). Activities were to include surveys, increasing the limits of the national park to include kite habitat, reintroducing native snails (food source for the kite), control of local pig population and talks with the community to prevent hunting and wood cutting (BirdLife International unpublished data). - please ensure a report concerning the above

thank you
