Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 750,000 mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2020).
Trend justification: The species has been roughly stable between 1970 and 2017 (Partners in Flight 2020). Short-term trends suggest that the population increased by 13% over the past three generations (12.3 years), although this value is statistically non-significant (Pardieck et al. 2018; see also Wetlands International 2020). The species is therefore here assessed as increasing.
