Taita thrush [SEP] IUCN conservation status

Taita thrush The Taita thrush ("Turdus helleri"), also known as Taita olive thrush or Heller's ground thrush, is a critically endangered bird from the family of thrushes (Turdidae), endemic to the Taita Hills in Kenya. Description. The Taita thrush was previously classified as subspecies of the olive thrush ("Turdus olivaceus"), but it is regarded as distinct species since 1985. It reaches a length between 20 and 22 centimetres. Head, breast and upperparts are coloured darkly. The

birds – with the thrush as the flagship species – to champion the conservation of the Taita Hills forests. Ecology. It is restricted to montane moist forests. Despite its natural native habitat having been severely logged in the past, it has avoided forests with secondary growth, shrub vegetation, and cultivated areas. Extensive research has shown only very few migrations between the fragmented populations.

Tana River mangabey [SEP] IUCN conservation status

Tana River mangabey The Tana River mangabey ("Cercocebus galeritus") is a highly endangered species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. Some authorities have included the taxa "agilis" and "sanjei" as subspecies of this species, while others award these full species status. It is endemic to riverine forest patches along the lower Tana River in southeastern Kenya. It is threatened by habitat loss and degradation, which has increased in recent years. This species was, together with the equally endangered Tana River red colobus,

The Tana River red colobus had been considered one of The World's 25 Most Endangered Primates.

Tana River red colobus [SEP] IUCN conservation status

Tana River red colobus The Tana River red colobus ("Piliocolobus rufomitratus"), also called the eastern red colobus, is a highly endangered species of primate in the family Cercopithecidae. It is endemic to a narrow zone of gallery forest near the Tana River in southeastern Kenya. Taxonomy. As here defined, "P. rufomitratus" is a monotypic species restricted to Kenya, following Groves. As all red colobuses, it was formerly considered a subspecies of a widespread "P. badius". Some recent authorities include

the watch of the Tana River Primate National Reserve (TRPNR). They put a large amount of research and study into the conservation of the Tana River red colobus. They found that only 37% of the red colobuses lived inside the preservation itself, which has brought the conservation strategy into question. Conservation status Causes of endangerment. The Tana River red colobus is located only in a very small section of the world. Its current endangerment is caused by habitat loss and persecution by humans.
