South Africa's Forest Birds Are Disappearing from Indigenous Forests

Caption

Species which suffered a direct impact because of loss of indigenous forests in the Eastern Cape include this White-starred Robin which was ringed by researchers from Stellenbosch University during their last field trip to the Transkei Mistbelt forests. Similarly-affected species are the African Goshawk, Southern Banded Snake-eagle, Bush Blackcap, African Wood Owl and Spotted Ground-thrush.
