Justification of Red List category
While this species declined rapidly in the past due to the loss and degradation of its Araucaria forest habitat and poaching for the pet trade, declines appear to have slowed down in recent years as deforestation rates and trapping pressure have reduced. Nevertheless, despite the current recovery, the population is projected to decline rapidly in the future as a consequence of habitat loss, trapping and diseases. The species is therefore listed as Vulnerable.
