Justification of Red List category
This species is confined to Palawan's lowlands where forest loss continues apace due to legal and illegal logging, as well as increasingly the threat of typhoons which threaten even well protected forests. Trapping and persecution are thought to be having additive if relatively low impacts. Combined, threats are thought to have caused declines of 25-35% over the past three generations, and declines are predicted to accelerate in the future. Unless these threats are adequately controlled, this species has a high risk of extinction in the future. Accordingly it is listed as Vulnerable.
