Kentish plover
The Kentish plover is classified as least concern on the Red List because it has a very large population range. It is not near the threshold for "vulnerable" under the population size (&lt;10,000 mature individuals with a constant decline reaching &gt;10% within the next 10 years or three generations), since the global population is estimated being very large with 100,000 - 499,999 mature individuals. A closer estimate, needing further verification, is that the population size lies between 290,000 and 460,000 individuals. Moreover, the Kentish plover does not reach the threshold for being "vulnerable" on a level of range size (the area of occurrence being &lt;20,000 km2 in combination with a decline of population size, habitat area/quality or range size) because it is distributed over an area of 70,800,000 km2. Finally, although there is a decline in global population size, it does not reach the threshold for ‘Vulnerable’ in terms of population trend meaning &gt;30% decline over 10 years or three generations.
