Assessment rationale/justification
Whilst there is no evidence of continuing decline, fragmentation or extreme fluctuations in the population, the low value for AOO, in conjunction with the eight recent locations, would otherwise suggest a status of VU under Criterion B, and hence a status of NT is considered appropriate. Otherwise, the estimated rate of decline in range over the last 10 years does not exceed the 30% decline required for qualification as VU against Criterion A; there is no information on population size to assess against Criteria C and D1; the number of locations exceeds five, exceeding the Criterion D2 threshold; and there are no life history models to inform assessments against Criterion E.

Assessment rationale/justification
The estimated rate of change in range over the last 10 years does not exceed the 30% decline required for qualification against Criterion A. Both EOO and AOO are qualifyingly small and with two locations the species might qualify as EN under Criterion B, but there is no evidence of population fragmentation, fluctuation or continuing decline. There is no information on population size to assess against Criteria C and D1 and no life history models to inform assessments against Criterion E. The small number of locations might qualify the species as VU under D2, but there is no plausible threat which could affect the population sufficiently to drive it to CR in a short period of time. Hence, no threatened status can be justified, but Near Threatened is assigned in recognition of the species nearly qualifying for EN under B1a and B2a, and nearly qualifying for VU under D2.

Assessment rationale/justification
The species is an important legume species for indigenous populations (it is used to feed animals, such as goats, sheep and camels, to produce high quality honey, for charcoal, as herbal medicine etc.), it is therefore important to ensure that this species is not over-exploited in the future leading to a population decline and to a threatened category. At present, the estimated EOO for this species is 19,222 km<sup>2</sup> and it is experiencing a decline in habitat extent and quality due to over-grazing and development. However, it is anticipated to occur at more than ten locations, meaning it is assessed as Near Threatened.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
Within the UAE, it is known from foothills of the Hajar Mountains, Al Marmoum, Jebel Hafeet, Arabian Oryx Protected Area, and Hilli. It is absent from the west of the UAE, but has been planted as a landscape tree, for example in parts of Dubai (G.R. Brown pers. comm. 2020). The estimated EOO for this species is 19,222 km<sup>2</sup>. The species is found in the northern Sahel and the southern and central Sahara, extending to eastern Africa and east to the Arabian Peninsula.

Habitat details as listed in assessment
This is a much branched, tall shrub or small tree (2-7 m tall), which grows in dry semi-desert areas on sandy and clay soil and on stony screes. The species is one of the most drought-tolerant among the common African acacias occurring in the rainfall belts 50-400 mm. Its distribution differs from that of Acacia seyal, as the latter is a typical Sahelian and Sudanian species occurring in rainfall belts between 400 and 800 mm, on fine-textured soils only. The species is also known to occur in many ecoregions (WWF Ecoregions), such as Sahara desert, Sahelian Acacia savanna, southwestern Arabian foothills savanna, Red Sea Nubo-Sindian tropical desert and semi-desert, Arabian Desert and East Sahero-Arabian xeric shrublands and South Iran Nubo-Sindian desert and semi-desert.
Threats and conservation measures listed
Threats listed in assessment
This species is over-grazed and is at threat from development. There is no known natural regeneration for this species.
History
There were fewer threats in the past decades which may have meant this species was at lower risk of extinction. However, it is still likely to have been categorised as Near Threatened.

Assessment rationale/justification
In the UAE, the species is known from three records from the Ru'us al-Jibal. There is no information available on population size and trend, but the species is assumed to be impacted by climate change. The area of occupancy (AOO) is inferred to be restricted, certainly very much less than 500 km<sup>2</sup>, but it is not known if the species is severely fragmented. The number of locations is restricted, defined by climate change, based on the currently known localities. The species is assessed as Near Threatened as a precaution, on the basis of the restricted EOO and AOO, and further research is required. Although the species occurs in adjacent parts of these mountains in Oman, there is no rescue effect applied.

Taxon distribution as listed in assessment
In the UAE, the species is known from a very small number of records from higher elevations (900-1,800 m elevation; M. Tsaliki pers. comm. 2019) in the Ru'us al-Jibal. Feulner (2011) reported a single locality in the southern Ru'us al-Jibal, but commented that it is probably overlooked elsewhere and later found a second record in the same area (G.R. Feulner, in litt, in MEW 2010). It has also been recorded from Jebel Jais at high elevation (M. Tsaliki pers. comm. 2019). The global range of this species is the eastern Himalaya and western Himalaya regions, according to Plants of the World Online (Board of Trustees, RBG Kew 2019). Ohba and Rajbhandari (2012) give the range as Nepal, western Himalaya (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan) and southwest Asia. Iran and China are cited by Flora Iranica (Rechinger 1963-2010). The species has recently been reported for Oman (Patzelt 2015).

Assessment rationale/justification
Within the UAE, this species is recorded from two desert limestone outcrops, Jebel Faya and Qarn Nazwa. No records from other parts of the UAE have been found and, although the extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) are restricted, it appears that the majority of its range occurs within protected areas. However, Qarn Naswa is subject to grazing impacts from camels and goats, and the species is assessed as Near Threatened (B1a+2a) as a result of its restricted extent of occurrence and area of occupancy, but without evidence of continuing decline.
