Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 40 million mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).

Trend justification: The population has been fluctuating between 1970 and 2017 (Pardieck et al. 2018; Partners in Flight 2019); it is here tentatively assessed as overall stable.
