The São Tomé Green Pigeon is an endemic species to São Tomé Island, characterized by its vibrant green plumage. It plays an important ecological role in the island's unique forest ecosystems.
Where to spot
Endemic to São Tomé Island in the Gulf of Guinea, inhabiting primary and secondary rainforests, often found from lowland areas up to higher elevations.
How to spot
Focus on the mid-to-upper canopy of forest trees. Its green plumage provides excellent camouflage, so patience and listening for its soft cooing calls are key to locating this island specialty.
When to spot
Observable year-round as a resident species. Best seen during feeding hours in the morning and late afternoon within fruiting trees, which are its primary food source.
This species is considered vulnerable due to ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation on its small island home, highlighting the critical need for conservation efforts to protect its remaining forest habitat.
