In some areas Saker Falcon populations have undergone a marked decline, whilst in other places the population has remained fairly stable or even increased. In some countries declines began in the late 19th Century through direct persecution to protect game and livestock, whilst further extensive declines occurred in the 20th Century when large areas of natural steppe habitat were converted for agriculture.
In 1999 Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (formerly ERWDA) published its Global Strategy Plan where the global outlook and the major principles for the conservation of the Saker Falcon and Houbara Bustard are given in line with the Arab traditions and constraints of the modern world. The Strategy Plan has a foreword by the President of UAE.
