Population justification: Engbring and Pratt (1985) estimated a population size of 31,623 individuals, which is rounded here to 31,600.

Trend justification: There are no recent data on population trends; however, surveys in 1994 found significantly fewer individuals than in 1983 (Buden 2000), thus a slow to moderate decline is suspected.
