Justification of Red List category
Although this species appears to be confined to a relatively small area of north-west New Guinea's grasslands, there is no reason to suspect it has a small population size, or that it is declining. In fact, it may be benefiting from ongoing small-scale forest clearance in its range. For this reason it is assessed as Least Concern.
