Justification of Red List category
This species is classified as Vulnerable on the basis of suspected continuing declines in both its small population and its small range, owing to the destruction and severe fragmentation of its lowland rainforest habitat, mainly as a result of subsistence agriculture. Climate change is also projected to greatly impact this species's ecological niche in the future, and so this species may be uplisted to Endangered in the future.
