Okinawa Woodpecker (Sapheopipo noguchii)

Okinawa Woodpecker (Sapheopipo noguchii), Okinawa, Japan

The Okinawa Woodpecker (Sapheopipo noguchii), (ノグチゲラ Noguchigera?) is a woodpecker endemic to the island of Okinawa in Japan. It is the only member of the genus Sapheopipo.

Other common names for this species are Noguchi's Woodpecker, Okinawan Woodpecker, Pryer's Woodpecker and Ryu Kyu Woodpecker.

This woodpecker is critically endangered. It has a single tiny, declining population which is threatened by habitat loss of mature forest due to logging, dam construction, agriculture, military and golf course developments. A major problem now is that one of their main habitats is being destroyed. The current population is estimated at less than 600. This species is suspected to be declining at a rate of 10-19% over ten years, as a result of ongoing clearance of old-growth forests.
