The church owl, Denmark's smallest owl species, has seen a slight increase in population but remains critically endangered. According to the Danish Ornithological Society, there were 16 breeding pairs this year compared to nine in 2021.

Biologist Lars Bo Jacobsen notes that without supplemental feeding through conservation projects, the population would decline gradually.
