Development of the sacker Falcon (Falco Cher rug) Global Action Plan (sacker GAP) Sacker GAP Questionnaire: To be compiled and submitted by National Information Coordinators from each Range State of the species. To promote comprehensive completion of this SakerGAP Questionnaire, please seek inputs from your own national contact networks and those individuals identified in the List of contacts within Range States who have been sent the SakerGAP National Questionnaire - attached to the original commissioning email message. Only the yellow-shaded sections need to be completed. Please return the Questionnaire to cmsoffice.ae@cms.int by the deadline of 15 July 2013.

Famines and dissertation. 2.hunting and trafficking What is their impact on the population? 1. When the threats like famines and dissertation continue for a long time they may cause disaster that affect the population of living things including birds(falcon),and it would make a visible impact that remain. 2. continuous trafficking is problem have an impact to population of the saker falcon List of critical and important threats 1. Famines. 2. Dissertation. 3. Trafficking. 4. Lack of protection. 5. Poor facilities and funding system.

ANNEX 1 Table 5 Threats importance at population or country level - Please refer to the Notes (below) to aid completion of this Table. Threat Description Threat Score 2.1....medium 2.2.... 1. High mortality/loss unknown 1.1.... 1.2.... 2. Missing or ineffective policies, laws and enforcement local 2.1.... 2.2.... 3. Low public and stakeholder awareness unknown 3.1.... 3.2....
Notes: The description of Threats should reflect the actual understanding of the situation regarding the species, according to the latest available knowledge. Threats are not hierarchical, but clustered according to type of effect. Threat score: o Critical: a factor causing or likely to cause very rapid declines (>30% over 10 years); o High: a factor causing or likely to cause rapid declines (20-30% over 10 years); o Medium: a factor causing or likely to cause relatively slow, but significant, declines (10-20% over 10 years); o Low: a factor causing or likely to cause fluctuations; o Local: a factor causing or likely to cause negligible declines; o Unknown: a factor that is likely to affect the species but it is unknown to what extent. This ranking reflects IUCN extinction risk assessments
ANNEX 2 Table 6 Most important areas or sites in your country Please refer to the Notes section (below). Area or Site name (in English please) Area or Site size (km 2 ) Location in the country Estimated population size Estimated density Year Season Data quality Min Max 1.nugal site 40 km square North Somalia min 2010 migratio u n 2.sarar site 35km square North Somalia min 2009 migratio n u Notes: Population Min - Max. For breeding ('season' column), figures are usually given in pairs; for other seasons, figures are given in individuals Season: Breeding, Migration, Non breeding visitor(wintering) Data quality: Good Observed (GO) = Reliable or representative quantitative data are available through complete counts or comprehensive measurements for the whole period and country. Good Estimated (GE) = Reliable quantitative or representative data are available through sampling or interpolation for the whole period and country. Medium Estimated (ME) = Only incomplete quantitative data are available through sampling or interpolation. Medium Inferred (MI) = Only poor or incomplete quantitative data are available derived from indirect evidence. Poor (P) = Poorly known with no quantitative data are available and with guesses derived from circumstantial evidence. Unknown (U) = information on quality not available.
