Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but Brazil (2009) has estimated national population sizes at c.100-100,000 breeding pairs in China and c.10,000-100,000 breeding pairs in Russia. This species is declining locally owing to over-hunting (del Hoyo et al. 1994).

Trend justification: This species is declining locally owing to over-hunting (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
