| Citation | BirdLife International 2017. Merops orientalis (amended version of 2016 assessment). The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2017: e.T22725876A119972083. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2017-3.RLTS.T22725876A119972083.en. Downloaded on 08 January 2020. | 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). The population trend appears to be increasing, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, 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 global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be fairly common locally over its entire range (del Hoyo et al. 2001). Trend Justification: The population is suspected to be increasing as agricultural expansion and irrigation is creating new areas of suitable habitat (del Hoyo et al. 2001). |
