The Pemba Green Pigeon (Treron pembaensis) is a medium-sized pigeon species found in the Pemba Island of Tanzania. It has a distinctive green plumage with a yellowish-green patch on the nape. The species is known for its gentle cooing calls and is often found in dense forest canopies. Pemba Green Pigeons primarily feed on fruits and play a vital role in seed dispersal within their habitat. Due to habitat loss and hunting, the population of this species is declining, and conservation efforts are crucial for its survival.
