Population justification: The global population size has been estimated at c.80,000-90,000 individuals (S. Chan in litt. 2003), while the population in Japan has been estimated at c.100-100,000 breeding pairs. |
|
Trend justification: The species is suspected to be declining at a slow to moderate rate, owing to habitat loss and degradation. |
