The sooty falcon faces threats from habitat loss and degradation, particularly in its breeding and stopover sites.

Responsible safari tourism can help by raising awareness, supporting local conservation initiatives through park fees, and minimizing disturbance to sensitive habitats where these falcons may nest or hunt.
