The Palau fantail flycatcher was virtually eliminated by damage caused during World War II. Although the damage caused by WWII decimated Palau fantail flycatcher populations, surveys conducted from 1976-1979 found the flycatcher to be one of the more common birds in the Palau forests and the species was delisted in 1985. Precise population data are not available. However, this species has recovered and was delisted in 1985. More
