Justification of Red List category
The species is suspected to be undergoing a rapid decline due to the dual and connected impacts of hunting and habitat loss through deforestation and forest degradation. It is at high risk from hunting impacts, and the majority of its range is accessible to hunters following fragmentation of previously intact forest and the development of roads. Rates of forest loss in the hill forest now thought to hold the bulk of the population are expected to increase in the near future: measurable loss from remote sensing has been 24% over the past three generations. As such, the species is assessed as Vulnerable.
