Necessary for the recovery of the Azores Bullfinch is to recover the available ecological enclaves of its northern archipelago of Macaronesia.

The projects dedicated to save the Azores Bullfinch include the restoration of original laurel forest habitat, in the eastern monteverde of São Miguel.

The Azores Bullfinch, previously regarded as a subspecies of Eurasian Bullfinch, is now recognised as a distinct species.

And along with the Azores bullfinch, the yellow-eared parrot from Colombia and the Chatham albatross have been downlisted from critically endangered to endangered.

The area around the mountain includes the largest remaining stand of the native laurisilva forest on the island, which is home to the critically endangered endemic bird species, the Azores Bullfinch.

The Azores only endemic bird species is the Azores Bullfinch, or Priolo, which is retricted to remnant laurisilva forest in the mountains at the eastern end of São Miguel.

The Azores Bullfinch (P. murina) is a critically endangered species (about 120 pairs remaining), occurring only in the east of the island of São Miguel in the Azores archipelago.

The Azores Bullfinch (Pyrrhula murina), also known as the São Miguel Bullfinch, or locally in Portuguese as the Priolo, is an endangered passerine bird in the true finch family.

There was some good news in the update, including for the Azores bullfinch, which was downgraded from "critically endangered" to the lower "endangered" category after conservation work to remove the threat caused by non-native plants in its habitat and to restore natural vegetation.

Lying at the eastern end of the island, it is the focus of a Special Protection Area containing the largest remnant of laurisilva forest on the island, which is home to the endemic and critically endangered bird, the Azores Bullfinch.
