Justification of Red List category
This species qualifies as Vulnerable because it has a very small population, which is dependent on continuing intensive management measures to mitigate the impact of threats such as poisoning, electrocution, shooting, collision with wind turbines and insufficient food availability. Having increased steadily during the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, the population now appears to have reached a plateau.
