International Single Species Action Plan for the Sooty Falcon (2024 - 2036)

The International Single Species Action Plan for the Sooty Falcon 2024 – 2036 aims to reduce the risk of extinction of the Sooty Falcon by halting the decline of its population to a point where it qualifies for down listing to at least Near Threatened. Ensuring that this is achieved requires Range States and other stakeholders to take concerted, as well as unilateral action.
The 12-year-long Plan covers approximately three generations of the species and puts in place actions under three objectives: (1) protect the species; (2) improve knowledge through monitoring and research; and (3) exchange lessons learnt and raise awareness. Each action of the Plan is accompanied by an outcome, target countries and stakeholders, and an indication of implementation priority. All Range States of the Sooty Falcon are called to implement the Plan.
