How many of these migratory birds of raptors have an unfavourable conservation status?
From a review of available literature and data in Birdlife International’s World Bird Database, it is clear that at least 32 of the 60 migratory raptor species are rare or endangered, and many of these are showing rapid or long-term population declines. This figure could be even higher, given that the conservation status of many species in Africa, Asia and the Middle East is unclear.
