Nepali name : Baudai
This species has an extremely large range, and
hence does not approach the thresholds for
Vulnerable under the range size criterion
(Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km combined
with a declining or fluctuating range size,
habitat extent/quality, or population size and a
small number of locations or severe
fragmentation). Despite the fact that the
population trend appears to be decreasing, the
decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid
to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable
under the population trend criterion (>30%
decline over ten years or three generations).
The population size is extremely large, and
hence does not approach the thresholds for
Vulnerable under the population size criterion
(<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing
decline estimated to be >10% in 10 years or
three generations, or with a specified
population structure). For these reasons the
species is evaluated as Least Concern.
