Status
The species is not generally hunted and has proven resistant to habitat change that has threatened other native birds, and is considered least concern by the IUCN. The distribution of the Cuckoo-roller is vast and populations in Madagascar are able to persist in small forest fragments. Some areas with abundant populations include those broad expanses of forest in association with reserves such as Zahamena, Andringitra, Andohahela and Marojejy.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Anthropologists have found that around the world whatever is considered “men’s work” is almost universally given higher status than “women’s work.” If in one culture it is men who build houses and women who make baskets, then that culture will see house-building as more important. In another culture, perhaps right next door, the reverse may be true, and basket- weaving will have higher social status than house-building.”
—Mary Stewart Van Leeuwen. Excerpted from, Gender Grace: Love, Work, and Parenting in a Changing World (1990)
