Justification of Red List category
Although this species has a small range, it is believed to occur at high densities within it and to have a relatively large population size. Moreover, despite some evidence of habitat loss and degradation, N. forbesi appears to be tolerant of these habitat modifications, and there is no indication that it is currently declining. For these reasons it is listed as Least Concern.
