Assessment rationale/justification
This species has beenexperiencing a continuing decline in habitat extent andquality, through habitat degradation. Generation length hasbeen estimated as two to three years based on data fromMacdonald (2004). A population decline of at least 50%over the ten years is expected, qualifying it as Endangeredunder Criterion A3c. The assessment remains unchangedfollowing application of regional criteria as there is nosignifi cant immigration from adjacent countries.

Assessment rationale/justification
There is very little informationavailable on population trends for this species in Mongolia.However, exploitation is believed to be occurring at highlevels throughout its range. When population data becomesavailable, this species may be re-categorised as threatened32under Criterion A if conservation actions are not implemented. The assessment remainsunchanged following application of regional criteria as there is no signifi cant immigrationfrom adjacent countries.

Assessment rationale/justification
Over the past 60 years, thisspecies has experienced an ongoing decline in populationsize. In 1990 the population was estimated to consistof 20 million individuals (Wingard and Zahler, 2006),falling to fi ve million by the most recent assessment in2001, indicating a 75% decline (Batbold, 2002). It is estimated that more than 1.2 millionskins per year have been traded since the late 1800s, with as many as three million individualsremoved from the population in 2004 (Wingard and Zahler, 2006). Generation length has beenestimated as six years based on data from Nowak (1991). This species qualifi es as Endangeredunder Criterion A2ad, based on observed declines of greater than 50% over the past threegenerations primarily due to exploitation and disease. The assessment remains unchangedfollowing application of regional criteria as there is no signifi cant immigration from adjacentcountries.
