Justification of Red List category
Although this species's population size is increasing, it is restricted to two small subpopulations and the introduction of rats to Campbell Island or Whenua Hou could lead to rapid declines and push the species to Critically Endangered in a very short time. For this reason, the species is listed as Vulnerable.
