Remaining habitat is rapidly being degraded by agricultural cultivation and grazing, and the number of mature individuals is decreasing (the total population is now believed to number fewer than 250 mature individuals).<\/p>\n<p>Factsheet: <a href=\"http:\/\/datazone.birdlife.org\/species\/factsheet\/liben-lark-heteromirafra-archeri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow external noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Liben Lark <i>Heteromirafra archeri<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-751-2052958\">\n\n\n\n    \t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-11361\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/img_6826-edit.jpg\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" alt=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/thumbs\/thumbs_img_6826-edit.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Archer&#039;s Lark<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n \t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-11360\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/img_6902-edit.jpg\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" alt=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/thumbs\/thumbs_img_6902-edit.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Archer&#039;s Lark<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n \t\n\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-11359\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box nggvote-33\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/img_6840-edit.jpg\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" alt=\"Archer&#039;s Lark\" src=\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/archers-lark\/thumbs\/thumbs_img_6840-edit.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Archer&#039;s Lark<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\n \t\n\t<!-- Pagination -->\n \t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The species occupies mid-altitude grassland in Ethiopia and Somalia.
