RED LIST NOT EVALUATED DATA LEAST DEFICIENT CONCERN NEAR THREATENED VULNERABLE ENDANGERED CRITICALLY ENDANGERED EXTINCT IN THE WILD NE DD LC NT VU EN CR EW OBjørn Christian Tørrissen The Victoria Crowned Pigeon's glorious white-tipped crest distinguishes it from the two other species- Western crowned pigeon (Goura cristata) and Scheepmaker's crowned pigeon (Goura scheepmakeri). EXTINCT EX Victoria Crowned Pigeon (Goura victoria) Largest pigeon in the world (74cm) and prized by hunters for its flesh and feathers. Threatened in lowland forests-particularly on the flat terrain favoured by this species-by selective logging (which also opens up access to hunters) and the development of oil palm plantations. Extirpated from the vicinity of some transmigration settlements where it had survived constant hunting by local indigenous people. Elsewhere it persists close to habitation and close to hunters.
