Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 6,500,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: This species has been undergoing a moderate decline at an average rate of -1.3% per year between 1970 and 2017 (Partners in Flight 2019; Rosenberg et al. 2019). Short-term trends suggest that declines have slowed down slightly in recent years, amounting to 8% over the past ten years (Pardieck et al. 2018).
