Once found on islands across the archipelago, including Praslin, Mariane, Aride and Felicite, today a breeding population of paradise-flycatchers exists only on La Digue, where the pace of island developments is increasing pressure on the remaining 200 birds.

In recent years, the threat status of the Seychelles Magpie-robin Copsychus sechellarum, Seychelles Fody Foudia sechellarum, Seychelles White-eye Zosterops modestus, Seychelles Warbler Acrocephalus sechellensis and Seychelles Scops-owl Otus insularis have all improved, thanks to action by several organisations, including Nature Seychelles and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, assisted by private island owners.

The project will work closely with local people on La Digue, to ensure measures put in place to protect the birds meet with their approval. It will also include an assessment of the socio-economic importance of the flycatchers to La Digue and the Seychelles, and aims to increase the importance placed on conservation and protection of local ecosystems.
