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 />
