Negros Bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba keayi)
About the Negros Bleeding-heart
The Negros bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba keayi) is a species of ground-dwelling dove endemic to the islands of Negros and Panay in the Philippines. Critically endangered, its population is declining due to deforestation and trapping for both bushmeat and the illegal wildlife trade. The population is estimated to be just 50 - 249 mature individuals. The species inhabits tropical moist lowland forests and has an extremely small, severely fragmented population. Among the five species known as bleeding-hearts, this bird is distinguised by its vertical line heart and crescent marks on each wing. The bird is listed as an EDGE species under the analysis of the Zoological Society of London.
