From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Square-tailed Kite, Lophoictinia isura, is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, eagles and harriers.
[edit] Conservation Status
Square-tailed Kites are not listed as threatened on the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. However, their conservation status varies from state to state within Australia. For example:
- The Square-tailed Kite is listed as threatened on the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988).[1] Under this Act, an Action Statement for the recovery and future management of this species has not yet been prepared.[2]
- On the 2007 advisory list of threatened vertebrate fauna in Victoria, the Square-tailed Kite is listed as vulnerable.[3]
