Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 10,000-19,999 individuals. This equates to 6,667-13,333 mature individuals, rounded here to 6,000-15,000 mature individuals. |
|
Trend justification: A slow and on-going decline is suspected on the basis of habitat destruction and degradation, which is being compounded by hunting pressure. |
