Population and Threats
The extremely small population of São Tomé ibises contains only around 70 to 400 individuals. Because of this, it is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List under the name of Dwarf Ibis.

The most severe threat facing the Sao Tome ibis is overhunting. Aside from this, logging and the development of dams have both contributed to the loss of individuals in the ibis population since they affect such a wide area of their habitat. Due to the establishments of roads and rails, humans have increased access to their habitat, further explaining the endangered status. Introduced species could negatively affect the numbers of these birds. The São Tomé ibis is endemic to the São Tomé Obô National Park, which is under threat by anthropogenic overexploitation.
