Five of Burkina Faso's nine threatened birds are raptors or scavengers, and that proportion is what sets the list apart: three vultures — the critically endangered white-backed, the lappet-faced and the Egyptian — the martial eagle and the secretarybird. The others are two crowned cranes, the houbara bustard and the southern ground-hornbill.
