Tasmania is home to 12 species of raptors, with one species and two subspecies found nowhere else in the world. Some, like the Brown Falcon, are widespread, while others, such as the Tasmanian Masked Owl, are elusive and under threat. Four of Tasmania’s raptors—the Tasmanian Wedge-tailed Eagle, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Grey Goshawk, and Tasmanian Masked Owl—are classified as threatened, facing challenges from habitat loss, human activity, and environmental changes.
