Conservation Status
Conservation hubFaces a high risk of extinction in the wild.
The Javan trogon faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation due to deforestation. While specific recovery programs are limited, its survival is indirectly supported by conservation efforts in its native rainforests. Responsible tourism helps by funding protected areas and raising awareness, providing an economic incentive to preserve the Javan trogon's fragile habitat.
The Javan trogon is a bird species in the family Trogonidae endemic to western Java, Indonesia. It was previously grouped with the Sumatran trogon as a single species, known as the blue-tailed trogon. However, differences in size, weight, and plumage have led to their classification as separate species. Both species were once included in the genus Harpactes alongside other Asian trogons, but due to differences in plumage, they have been reclassified into their own genus, Apalharpactes.
