THREAT WILDFIRE: Another important threat to the species is the frequency and intensity of bushfires, which are largely anthropogenic in origin. Fires have increased significantly in recent decades and affect large parts of reserves every year (e.g. OROA in Tchad). They have fatal effects on nests and on small hatchlings that are not yet able to fly. Frequent causes are spontaneous fires that ignite at exhaust pipes and fires at cooking sites that get out of control. Fire management seems to be key for the management of grassland-dominated habitats and for its wildlife.
Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. We greatly appreciate the time and effort invested in commenting. The window for consultation is now closed and we are unable to accept any more comments until 28 October 2024. We will now analyse and interpret the information, and we will post a preliminary decision on this species’ Red List status on this page on 28 October 2024, when discussions will re-open.
Based on available information, our preliminary proposal for the 2025 Red List would be to adopt the proposed classifications outlined in the initial forum discussion.
There is now a period for further comments until the final deadline on 10 November 2024, after which the recommended categorisations will be put forward to IUCN.
The final Red List categories will be published on the BirdLife and IUCN websites in 2025, following further checking of information relevant to the assessments by both BirdLife and IUCN.

Recommended categorisation to be put forward to IUCN
The final categorisation for this species has not changed. Nubian Bustard is recommended to be listed as Vulnerable under Criteria A2cd+4cd.
