Justification of Red List category
This species has a relatively small range that extends from western Myanmar to south-west China and northernmost Thailand. Within it, fewer than 10,000 mature individuals may remain, and evidence suggests it is continuing to decline in response to habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, as well as compounding impacts of hunting. Accordingly, it is listed as Vulnerable.

Population size: 2500-9999, 7500 mature individuals

Population trend: decreasing
