James's Flamingo

Close to qualifying as threatened in the near future.

James's flamingo faces threats from habitat degradation and disturbance, particularly due to mining and water extraction in its high-altitude wetland homes. While specific large-scale recovery programs are limited, ongoing monitoring and research are crucial for understanding population dynamics. Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness, supporting local communities who benefit from eco-tourism, and by adhering to strict guidelines that minimize disturbance to sensitive flamingo habitats.
