Population justification: The population estimate of 2,500-9,999 individuals is derived from P. G. W. Salaman in litt. (1997, 2000). This equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals.
Trend justification: A slow and on-going population decline is suspected on the basis of rates of habitat loss and hunting pressure.
