Population justification: The population size of this species has not been quantified, but it is described as fairly common in parts of its range.
Trend justification: The species's population is predicted to undergo a moderately rapid decline as rainforest in eastern Madagascar suffers increasing clearance and degradation for shifting agriculture.
