Population justification: The global population is estimated to number c.10,000 individuals (Ferguson-Lees et al. 2001), while national population sizes have been estimated at < c.100 breeding pairs in China and c.100-10,000 breeding pairs in Taiwan (Brazil 2009).

Trend justification: The population is declining owing to ongoing deforestation (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001).
