Justification of Red List category

This species has a small and declining population, suspected to number less than 10,000 mature individuals. Given the likely number of subpopulations and that the total population size may be as low as 1,500 mature individuals, no subpopulation is thought to exceed 1,000 mature individuals. The species is therefore assessed as Near Threatened, approaching the thresholds for listing as threatened under C2a(i).
