BirdLife thanks everyone who has provided information for the 2020 Red List update. The unprecedented volume of feedback has exceeded our processing capacity, especially given COVID-19. Consequently, it has not been possible to reassess every species that may require a category change in the 2020 update. However, all new information has been catalogued, and will be processed, reflected and acknowledged in relevant species’ assessments ASAP. Any further potential category changes will be prioritised, with work starting on the 2021 update in September 2020. Thanks for your understanding and support.
