The IUCN column shows the status displayed is from the 2008 IUCN Red List site. The species names in the IUCN list do not always match the sources I have used & some species are missing & the IUCN contains additional species.

The CITES column shows the July 2008 Appendix that the species is listed under. Appendix I lists the most endangered species and CITES prohibits international trade in specimens (with certain exceptions), Appendix II lists species that are not necessarily now threatened with extinction but that may become so unless trade is closely controlled & Appendix III is a list of species included at the request of a Party that already regulates trade in the species and that needs the cooperation of other countries to prevent unsustainable or illegal exploitation.
This order follows the taxonomy set out by James Ferguson-Lees & David A. Christie in "Raptors Of The World", with some updates for recent genus changes, and is reasonably up to date.
