Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, though national population sizes have been estimated at c.100-10,000 breeding pairs in China and < c.100 breeding pairs in Taiwan (Brazil 2009).
Trend justification: The population trend is difficult to determine because of uncertainty over the impacts of habitat modification on population sizes.
