Justification of Red List category
This species has a very small population which is undergoing a decline. The likely causes of the decline are ongoing habitat loss and degradation and potentially illegal trapping for the pet trade, as well as range contractions caused by climate change. The species therefore qualifies as Endangered. A recent estimate of the population size is urgently needed.
