Actophilornis albinucha is endemic to
Madagascar. It has been described as common or abundant in western and northern Madagascar, but is rare in the east of the island (Langrand 1990, Morris and Hawkins 1998). It has been noted that the species is becoming less frequently observed in suitable habitat (P. Morris
in litt. 2010, L.-A. Rn de Roland
in litt. 2012), probably indicating that a decline has occurred. This apparent decline is suspected to be on-going, on the basis of continued habitat loss and modification, as well as hunting pressure (del Hoyo
et al. 1996, P. Morris
in litt. 2010, L.-A. Rn de Roland
in litt. 2012, G. Young
in litt. 2012).
