Citation BirdLife International 2016. Falco severus. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T22696470A93565954. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T22696470A93565954.en. Downloaded on 22 October 2019. Description JUSTIFICATION This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (extent of occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size may be small, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern. DESCRIPTION The population is estimated to number 1,000-10,000 individuals, roughly equating to 670-6,700 mature individuals. Trend Justification: The population is suspected to be declining owing to deforestation (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). THREATS Deforestation is likely to threaten the species (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). However Clark and Boesmann (2014) suggest that the threats to the species are unknown and work is needed to clarify its status.
