Résumé :	Past information and the current status of the critically endangered Ibadan Malimbe Malimbus ibadanensis is described. Twenty-one sites were surveyed for the Ibadan Malimbe over an eight month period in 2000. Ibadan Malimbes were found at two sites:IITA at Ibadan and Moniya about 8 km to the north. Ibadan Malimbes were found to occur in mixed species flocks of other malimbe species and a wide range of other forest flocking species. There were no superficial differences in habitat between occupied sites, unoccupied sites and historically occupied sites suggesting that habitat change is not the main factor associated with the species' decline. Further work is needed urgently to identify the causes of the decline.
