| - | '''Status:''' Least Concern. Global population: 11,000 - 110,000. Population is hard to gauge due to the nomadic nature of this species. In Madagascar the species is seriously threatened by the destruction of breeding colonies at Lake Kinkony, Lake Bemamba, Lake Ihotry and Lake Alaotra. It is also threatened by the drainage of wetlands for human uses in parts of Africa. | + | '''Status:''' Least Concern. '''Global population:''' 11,000 - 110,000.
