Conservation
Conservation Status
The IUCN Red List status of Fulvous Owl is Least Concern due to its large range (a distribution of 116,000 km2 according to BirdLife International 2014). It is considered Endangered under Mexican law (NOM-059 SEMARNAT 2010). Fulvous Owl also is a species of high concern to Partners in Flight (Berlanga et al. 2010). Based on determinations of habitat loss, Berlanga et al. (2010) estimated that 50% or more of its population has been lost in Mexico during the last century.
Effects of human activity on populations
Fulvous Owl faces heightened risk because of its specialization on threatened tropical highland forest (cloud forest) habitats. The primary threat to this species is loss of this habitat type due to clearing for agriculture, and livestock grazing. In addition to threats of habitat loss, this species is threatened by shooting, and faces threats from climate change that will only become more severe over time.
