The Lanner Falcon is classified as Endangered at the European level and is categorised as SPEC 3(Tucker & Heath 1994). It is also listed in Annex I of the European Union’s Wild Birds Directive,Appendix II of the Bonn Convention, Annex II of the Bern Convention, and Appendix II of CITES.The total European population of subspecies feldeggii is 328-431 pairs, breeding in 7 countries(56% in Italy). Subspecies erlangeri numbers 1350-1400 pairs, breeding in 3 countries (74% inMorocco), while subspecies tanypterus totals 75-85 pairs (breeding in 5 countries). However, theseestimates should be treated with caution, since information on Lanner Falcon populations in manycountries is poor (e.g. Albania, Serbia, Macedonia, Turkey, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Syriaand Jordan).
