African houbara (Chlamydotis undulata) and Asian houbara (C. macqueenii), classified as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, have been over-exploited across their global ranges. The highest-profile conservation response has been large-scale releases of captive-bred birds, potentially threatening wild populations through introgression. Options for increasing numbers of the species are habitat management to counter overgrazing (in North Africa and the Middle East), mitigation of powerline collisions, predator control (ethically questionable and impractical), reduction of poaching and trapping, limited captive breeding, and hunting controls. Assuming hunting continues, the best model for conserving both species is a system of sustainable hunting that incorporates stakeholder observance, involvement of stakeholders and local communities in decisions and monitoring, protection of no-hunting areas, scientifically-determined quotas, small-scale use of captive-bred birds, and—if numbers still fail to respond, as a last resort—moratoria. These measures provide the only realistic guarantee for the long-term survival of Arab falconry, a part of humanity’s intangible cultural heritage.

非洲猴头鹦鹉（Chlamydotis undulata）和亚洲猴头鹦鹉（C. macqueenii））（在IUCN红色名录中被列为“易受伤害”），在其全球范围内已被过度​​利用。最为引人注目的保护措施是大规模释放圈养鸟，这可能通过渗入威胁野生种群。增加物种数量的选择是栖息地管理以应对过度放牧（在北非和中东），缓解电力线碰撞，控制捕食者（在伦理上有问题和不切实际），减少偷猎和诱捕，有限的圈养繁殖和狩猎控制。假设狩猎持续进行，保护这两种物种的最佳模式是可持续狩猎系统，该系统将利益相关者的观察，利益相关者和当地社区的参与纳入决策和监控，禁止狩猎的区域，科学确定的配额，人工饲养的鸟类的小规模使用，以及（如果数字仍然不能回应的话，作为不得已的办法）必须暂停。这些措施为阿拉伯猎鹰的长期生存提供了唯一的现实保证，而阿拉伯猎鹰是人类非物质文化遗产的一部分。
