Species Status
Since 1988, the Timor cuckoo-dove has been rated as a species of least concern on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. This is because although it has a restricted range, the range size is more than 20,000 km (7,700 mi), and because it has a stable population trend. In addition, although its population numbers have not been determined, it is thought to be above 10,000, which is above the criterion to warrant a vulnerable rating. It is described to be rarely found on Timor, but commonly found on the Tanimbar Islands and on the Kalaotoa Island. It is thought to have no major threat.
