The Large Green Pigeon Treron capellei was once widely distributed across Sumatra, the Thai-Malay Peninsula and Borneo and was locally very common, but serious declines have taken place and it is now scarce and very local (BirdLife International 2012). There are no recent records from Myanmar or Java, and it is close to extinction in Thailand (BirdLife International 2001). It is classified as Vulnerable due to its dependence on low-lying forest, a habitat which is being cleared and degraded at such a rate that rapid and continuing population declines are suspected (BirdLife International 2012).

We report here on several records of significant numbers of Large Green Pigeons across its range between 2006 and 2011.
