Justification of Red List category
Sholicola major is listed as Near Threatened because it has a relatively small range within which it is thought to be declining due to habitat modification, with more rapid future declines possible because of climate change. However, there is no evidence that it is confined to few (<10) Locations and any declines are suspected to be slow.

Population size: unknown

Population trend: decreasing
