Population justification: The population has been estimated to number at least 10,000 individuals, roughly equivalent to 6,700 mature individuals; this was a preliminary population estimate which requires confirmation and refinement.
Trend justification: This species is suspected to be declining rapidly owing to levels of trade (although these are not well done) and on-going forest clearance.
