Justification of Red List category
This species has been severely impacted by the intensive industrial-level snaring that has taken place in the past decade. In tandem with increasing rates of forest cover loss allowing greater access to trappers and reducing the extent and quality of forested habitat within the range, this is suspected to have driven an extremely rapid loss of abundance in this formerly common species. The species is classified as Critically Endangered.
