Population justification: The total population is placed in the band 1,000-2,499 individuals, equating to 667-1,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 600-1,700 mature individuals.
Trend justification: The species is suspected to be declining rapidly owing to the widespread clearance of forest that has taken place and continues, even within protected areas. The reliance of local communities on forest products causes additional disturbance and may be exacerbating declines.
