Assessment rationale/justification
This species has a very small non-breeding population in the UAE, which qualifies it for listing as Endangered. On a global scale, the species is in decline and breeding populations outside of the country may not have a large rescue effect. Therefore, the species is precautionarily retained as Endangered at the national level.
