Jamaican Kite
Although classified as vulnerable by the IUCN, the Jamaican Kite is thought to be highly threatened with extinction due to a variety of factors. There is only one site on Jamaica that has the plant (Black lancewood, Oxandra lanceolata), which is what the larvae of this species feeds on. The restricted access to food and intense deforestation for agricultural development creates a difficult environment for the Jamaican Kite to survive.
