Acknowledgements We thank the numerous funders and suppor- ters of the enormous body of work this paper encompasses although these are too many to mention individually. Two anonymous referees helped develop earlier drafts of this paper, and Amina Fellous com- mented on the Algeria text. We are unable to mention all the field workers that have contributed to gathering the information presented, but due to the harsh conditions and the difficulties on the ground, we would particularly like to acknowledge the full team of wardens in Morocco who have dedicated their lives to protecting and monitoring the birds. The team continues to do this, often in very tough field conditions, and Mohammed El Gadrouri and Abdallah Essamar de- serve special mention having both been fully involved for 25 years. Likewise, in Syria, the wardens and rangers there have served often through extraordinarily difficult times, well beyond the call of duty, and although many more have been involved, we would like to pay special tribute to Mahmud S. Abdullah and Ahmed Khaber Abdallah.
