Justification of Red List category
This species has a small population which is restricted to three isolated subpopulation, none of which hold more than 1,000 mature individuals. The preferred montane forest habitat is suffering ongoing degradation and there is evidence that a rapid reduction in abundance has taken place in the largest subpopulation over the past 25 years. It is therefore classified as Vulnerable.

Population size: 1200-9000,1830-4700 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing
