Natural Catastrophes
Although goshawks, as generalist raptors, are likely to cope well with habitat modifying natural catastrophes, the effect of events such as cyclones are more severe on small populations. There is a possibility of an increase in severe storms and cyclones occurring as a result of Greenhouse gas-induced climate change. It would be useful to understand the effects of cyclones and severe storms on goshawk populations to help predict the impact of any increases.
