Justification of Red List category
This species has a moderately small range, being restricted to four very small islands. The population is currently considered stable; however, the accidental introduction of predators such as Brown Tree Snake Boiga irregularis could plausibly cause the species to qualify for a higher threat category within a very short time period. It is therefore assessed as Near Threatened.

Population size: 40000-80000 mature individuals

Population trend: stable

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 184 km²

Country endemic: yes
