The Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) is a large, bird-eating raptor. Various threatening processes, including widespread deforestation and widespread application of persistent pesticides, have caused a 500 km northward contraction in the range of the Red Goshawk in New South Wales (NSW). The NSW population of the Red Goshawk is thought to have declined from that of a scarce breeding resident (similar to all other range States), to possible extinction as a breeding species (Debus 1993).

This plan describes our current understanding of the Endangered Red Goshawk Erythrotriorchis radiatus, documents the research and management actions undertaken to date, and identifies the actions required and parties responsible to maximise the opportunity for the species’ ongoing viability in the wild.
