Citation BirdLife International 2016. Nisaetus nipalensis. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species 2016: e.T22696153A93547115. http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2016-3.RLTS.T22696153A93547115.en. Downloaded on 15 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 moderately small to large, 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. Trend Justification: The population is in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction throughout its range (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001). THREATS The species is vulnerable to deforestation which is occurring throughout its range (Clark et al. 2015, Global Raptor Information Network 2015). In Japan there is one record of the species contracting avian influenza virus (H5N1) (Shivakoti et al. 2010).
