Threats listed in assessment
In Europe the use of pesticides has negatively affected populations (Tucker and Heath 1994), but this may not be a significant threat to this species within UAE. Predation by cats,;Felis catus,;has been noted to cause local declines on the Arabian Peninsula (Symes et al. 2015). Overgrazing outside of Protected Areas could be be an additional threat within UAE.
