'''Status:''' Threatened. The key threat is agricultural intensification and encroachment, primarily through the introduction of irrigation schemes to semi-arid areas and their subsequent conversion into croplands. Overgrazing by livestock may also reduce the extent of suitable habitat. These trends are expected to continue with the development of the Rajasthan Canal and widespread application of modern agricultural techniques. 2007 Population is estimated at 2,500-10,000 birds and declining.
