This species has been uplisted to Endangered because a revised population trend analysis indicates that they may be undergoing a very rapid decline. This negative trend is a result of a range of anthropogenic factors including electrocution on power lines, unsustainable capture for the falconry trade, as well as habitat degradation throughout all three continents but especially in Africa.
This species has been uplisted to Endangered because a revised population trend analysis indicates that it may be undergoing a very rapid decline.
