About
The Cameroon mountain greenbul (Arizelocichla montana) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is found in the Cameroonian Highlands forests. It is suspected to become rarer due to habitat loss, largely from agriculture, although this is not enough to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable status.
