    Summary

    Description
    English: Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus), Ebony Forest Reserve Chamarel, Mauritius
    Español: Cernícalo de Mauricio (Falco punctatus), reserva Ebony Forest, Chamarel, Mauricio
    Українська: Маврикійський боривітер (Falco punctatus), заповідник Ебенового лісу Шамарель, Маврикій. У 1974 році цей ендемік Маврикію був найрідкіснішим птахом у світі. Завдяки новаторським роботам зі збереження популяція зросла до 800 особин, але зараз скоротилася до, можливо, 400 птахів. У 2023 році уряд Маврикію оголосив маврикійського боривітера своїм національним птахом.
