be either from March to June or from March to April, although breeding has also been observed in November. In Sabah, a male was seen feeding a fully-fledged chick in late July. Nesting occurs in old barbet or woodpecker nest holes, with clutches comprising two eggs. The incubation and fledging times are unknown. Adult males have been observed preening each other, but it is not known if it breeds communally like the collared falconet. Status The white-fronted falconet is classified as being near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) on the IUCN Red List, due to its small range, a moderately small population that is declining, and habitat loss within its range. It is also listed on Appendix II of CITES. The species' total population is estimated to be 15,000–30,000 total individuals, out of which 10,000–19,999 are adults. The population is estimated to be declining at a rate of 10–19% over a decade. Extensive deforestation in lowlands throughout its range, along with forest fires, is a threat, although the presence of the species in areas of secondary growth shows a degree of resistance may imply that it is not immediately threatened. The cage-bird trade may also pose a threat to the species.
