Major Threat(s): | Human disturbance resulting from logging activity in some parts of its range, which could also lead to habitat loss. Wildfires and human-caused fires also constitute a threat. Drying of water sources and droughts also threaten this species, although it remains unclear if these represent natural environmental changes or are driven by anthropogenic activity. |
Conservation Actions: | Occurs in protected areas (approximately 10% of the species’ range in Mongolia). In the Russia Red List is listed as Least Concern, and is Not Evaluated for the China Red List. Further research is recommended. |
Errata reason: | This errata assessment has been created because the map was accidentally left out of the version published previously. |
