The Mount Kupe bushshrike faces significant threats from habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural expansion and logging. While specific recovery programs are limited, the presence of this species in protected areas like the Bakossi Forest Reserve offers some refuge. Responsible ecotourism, by generating revenue for local communities and conservation efforts, can incentivize the protection of its habitat and help fund anti-poaching patrols.
The Mount Kupe bushshrike is a species of bird in the family Malaconotidae. It was previously thought to be endemic to Cameroon, where it is found in the Bakossi Forest Reserve and in particular on Mount Kupe, where it has been known to attract ecotourists. In 2011 it was reported to be present in two sites in south east Nigeria.
