Population justification: The population may number under 10,000 birds, and so is placed in the band 2,500-9,999 individuals. This equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals. |
|
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and unsustainable levels of hunting. |
