Assessment status criteria
D1
Assessment rationale/justification
This species's breeding population within the UAE is small enough to trigger a listing as Endangered under Criterion D. However, the species is likely a recipient of immigration from outside of the country which would provide a rescue effect. Therefore, the category has undergone a regional adjustment, and the species is listed here as Vulnerable under Criterion D1.
