Population & trend
| Estimate | Data quality | Derivation | Year of estimate | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No. of mature individuals | 9200-46000 | medium | Estimated | 2007 |
| Population trend | Decreasing | poor | - | |

| Largest subpopulation | 9200-46000 | - | - | - |
| Generation length (yrs) | 10.18 | - | - | - |
| Population justification: The population is estimated at 9,200-46,000 mature individuals (roughly equivalent to 10,000-70,000 total individuals), based on conservative estimates of range size and density. | ||||
| Trend justification: This species is suspected to lose 16.6-19.3% of suitable habitat within its distribution over three generations (31 years) based on a model of Amazonian deforestation (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). Given the susceptibility of the species to hunting and/or trapping, it is therefore suspected to decline by a rate approaching 30% over three generations. | ||||
