Black ultures have been known to displace
the species from nesting sites.

Red-headed Vulture
(Sarcogyps calvus)
Where found: Northeastern India, Nepal, and
Southeast Asia
Current status: Critically Endangered
Population in the wild: Less than 10,000
Population trend: Declining
Conservation concerns: Populations declined
considerably during the 1990s and 2000s.
Declines in India may be due to use of the drug
diclofenac on livestock, the vulture’s main food
source. Diclofenac is lethal to other species of
vultures, and efforts to replace the drug with a
vulture-safe alternative are underway.
Diclofenac is not used in Southeast Asia, and
the species’ decline there is thought to be
primarily a result of reduced food availability,
as wild ungulate populations have disappeared,
and changing agricultural practices have
reduced the availability of cattle carcasses.

Black Harrier
(Circus maurus)
Where found: Southern Africa, including
South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, and
Botswana
Current status: Vulnerable
Population in the wild: Less than 1,000
as of 2007
Population trend: Stable
Conservation concerns: A species with a
small population spread across a large
range. Half of preferred breeding habitat
has been lost due to development and
agriculture. Burning of native shrublands
(fynbos) and grasslands also are a problem.

Saker Falcon
(Falco cherrug)
Where found: Eastern Europe, western
Asia, and northeastern Africa
Current status: Endangered
Population in the wild: Less than 32,000
as of 2012
Population trend: Declining
Conservation concerns: Rapid decline in
recent years to habitat loss due to intensified
agriculture. Falconry take has caused local
extirpations. Human persecution also may
pose a threat.

California Condor
(Gymnogyps californianus)
Where found: Southwestern North America
(mainly Arizona, California, and Baja California)
Current status: Critically Endangered
Population in the wild: 231 as of May 2014
Population trend: Increasing
Conservation concerns: Population declined
rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,
and reached an all-time low of 22 birds in 1981.
Captive breeding program initiated in 1983. All
birds removed from wild for captive breeding in
1987. Reintroduction began in 1992. Although
now breeding in the wild, condors remain threatened by lead poisoning, primarily from lead shot
used in sport hunting.
