Justification of Red List category
This species is endemic to a handful of islands in the Banggai archipelago, off Sulawesi, Indonesia. Despite its small range, it is common and has a relatively large population size. There is some evidence that it is impacted by habitat loss (especially caused by slash and burn agriculture), but there is nothing to suggest declines are rapid, or that the species occurs at only a small number of Locations. Accordingly, it is listed as Near Threatened.

Population size: 10000-40000 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing

Country endemic: yes
