Secretary birds are classified as Globally Vulnerable on the International Red Data List.  These charismatic, long-legged birds are disappearing fast from the grasslands of Southern Africa.  A number of factors threaten their future survival: collisions with power lines, loss of habitat and grassland degradation due to agricultural and forestry development.
