Madagascar Fish Eagle

Madagascar Fish Eagle

This species has an extremely small population which is probably in decline, and it is therefore classified as Critically Endangered. Although the species is susceptible to a number of on-going threats, recent data have suggested that its population is stable, and may have been for some time; if this is confirmed, the species may warrant downlisting in the future.

The current population is thought to be around 120 breeding pairs, equating to 240 mature individuals and roughly 360 individuals in total.
