Justification of Red List category
Given its apparent restriction to lowland forest in an area that has suffered extremely rapid destruction of this habitat as a result of conversion to agriculture (especially oil palm plantations) following commercial logging, this species is suspected to have undergone rapid population declines that are likely to continue. It therefore qualifies as Vulnerable.
