Establishing the Conservation Status of Bateleur in Mole National Park, Ghana

An endangered raptor of the African savannas

The Bird Conservation Fund (BCF) is teaming up with the African Bird Club (ABC) to raise $4,067 to for a project that focuses on Bateleur (Terathopius ecaudatus), a large raptor of African savannas, currently listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to severe population declines across its range. Despite its global significance, there is no published baseline information or population data on its status in Ghana, including within Mole National Park: the country’s largest protected area and an Important Bird Area, where the species has been sighted on several occasions.

This project, led by Joseph Kobina Daniels of the West African Primate Conservation Action, Accra Zoo, aims to establish the conservation status of the Bateleur in Mole National Park by combining systematic population surveys with targeted nest searches and local community engagement from August 2026 to August 2027.
