Concern<br />

Small population and illegal trade reported to be a threat. However,<br />

no international trade reported 2000-2010. On the basis <strong>of</strong> no<br />

anticipated trade, categorised as Least Concern.<br />

Population <strong>of</strong> some hundreds, apparently rare. Trapping and egg<br />

collection reported to be a threat by one author. However, no<br />

international trade reported 2000-2010. On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated<br />

trade, categorised as Least Concern.<br />

Relatively large population. Partially protected in the Democratic<br />

Republic <strong>of</strong> the Congo and no international trade reported since 2000.<br />

On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated trade, categorised as Least Concern.<br />

Large population with declines reported. Protected in Kenya though<br />

anecdotal reports <strong>of</strong> capture for trade. No international trade<br />

reported 2000-2010. On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated trade, categorised<br />

as Least Concern.<br />

Vagrant, with no population estimates available. However, no<br />

international trade reported 2000-2010. On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated<br />

trade, categorised as Least Concern.<br />

Very small population size with declines reported. However, fully<br />

protected in Malawi and no international trade reported 2000-2010.<br />

On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated trade, categorised as Least Concern.<br />

Small population. However, no international trade reported 2000-<br />

2010. On the basis <strong>of</strong> no anticipated trade, categorised as Least<br />

Concern.<br />

Small population apparently decreasing but current status not<br />

known. No international trade reported 2000-2010 although<br />

unreported and illegal trade reported, based on anecdotal<br />

information. The level and impact <strong>of</strong> apparent unreported trade is not<br />

known and given the unfavourable status <strong>of</strong> the species in Rwanda<br />

and the lack <strong>of</strong> information on the implementation <strong>of</strong> Article IV,<br />

categorised as Possible Concern.<br />
