Justification of Red List category
This species is listed as Vulnerable as it has suffered a rapid population decline over the past 20 years (three generations) due to loss of primary forest cover throughout much of its range. However the true rate of decline may be greater than currently estimated, and evidence of such declines would result in the species being uplisted in the future.

Population size: 10000-70000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 9,650,000 km²
