Justification of Red List category
This species has a very small range, in which there is a slow continuing decline in habitat quality due to logging and forest clearance. Its population size is thought to be small and there is only one subpopulation, but the current population trend is uncertain, as forest loss has been very slow within its range over the past decade. There is a plan for a major logging operation across a large part of the species's range, but the likely impact on the species's population size is uncertain. For these reasons, the species is listed as Near Threatened.
