Population justification: The species's population is estimated to number c.2,200 individuals (K. Uyehara, A. Marshall and A. Engilis Jr. in litt. 2007), roughly equivalent to 1,500 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The species is suspected to be in decline owing to hybridisation, wetland loss and introduced predators, although the likely rate of decline has not been estimated.
