Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 2,500-9,999 individuals. This equates to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals. There is not sufficient evidence available to downlist the species.

Trend justification: Up-to-date information on population status is lacking, but various factors influencing habitats in the region are thought likely to be causing a population decline of 1-19% over ten years. The impact of these factors may increase in the near future with growing human population pressure.
