The Saker Falcon is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to electrocution from power lines, overexploitation for the falcon trade and habitat degradation. The estimated global population of the species is now between 12,200 and 29,600 individuals across its large range, with resident and breeding populations occurring in Uzbekistan. A specialist in hunting in open terrain landscapes such as semi-desert, steppe habitat and agricultural areas, it mainly hunts terrestrial rodents (BirdLife International, 2019). This species is listed as present in the Karnabchul Steppe KBA and may therefore utilise habitats in or in close proximity to the proposed project site.
