Nature:
The primary cause of the decline of Falco punctatus is the loss of most of the native forest, compounded by the effects of organochloride pesticides applied widely in the 1960s. Introduced animals competing for nest sites and food has also had an effect, while the small population increases the risk factor.
Incidence:
Falco punctatus is listed by the IUCN as "Endangered". CITES lists the species as "Appendix 1".
