The Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni)has been classified as a vulnerable species by the IUCN due to the global population and range declination (by about 30%) in the past 10 years. This decline is expected to continue for another ten years. In addition to habitat loss, the indiscriminate use of pesticides seems to have such a deleterious effect on the species because of their reliance on insects for food. The small birds, reptiles and rodents that they also consume alsopartake of the same pesticide-treated insects.

So in reality, the short answer is: Humanactivity.
