Abstract
The article focuses on the conservation status and challenges faced by island raptors, which are particularly vulnerable to extinction due to their limited populations and unique ecological characteristics. It highlights that approximately 28.7% of raptor species are island endemics, with over half classified as threatened. The authors emphasize the need for increased research and conservation efforts, particularly in under-studied regions like Southeast Asia, to address knowledge gaps and develop effective management strategies. The article also discusses the impact of habitat loss, invasive species, and genetic isolation on the survival of these raptors, underscoring the urgency of targeted conservation actions to prevent further extinctions.
