Acrocephalus stentoreus | (Ehrenberg, 1833)
Publication
Asessment status in full
Least Concern
Assessment status abreviation
LC
Assessment rationale/justification
The relatively small breeding population for this species potentially could warrant a listing as Near Threatened under criterion D1. However, the population is thought to be continuing to increase, and there is likely a rescue effect for this species. Therefore, after regional adjustment, the species is listed here as Least Concern.

History
This species has increased its population size since 1996 due to increasing availability of suitable irrigated habitat, and it is suspected that the population size (accounting for regional adjustments) may have been sufficiently small in 1996 that it would have warranted a listing as Near Threatened under criterion D1 then, whereas now (2019) it is assessed as Least Concern.
