Justification of Red List category
This species is estimated to have an extremely small population, occupying an extremely small range and restricted to a single island which is susceptible to the introduction of alien species. The extent and quality of habitat are in decline, which, together with a plausible threat from hunting, is thought to be driving a continuing decline in the population. For these reasons the species qualifies as Critically Endangered.

Population trend: decreasing

Extent of occurrence (breeding/resident): 60 km2

Country endemic: yes

Attributes
IUCN System - Terrestrial
