Population justification: The previous estimate of 2,500-9,999 mature individuals made in the year 2000 is likely to have been an overestimate. The actual number of mature individuals is likely to be fewer than 2,500, and may be considerably lower than this given the high visibility and accessibility of much of what is now known to be the breeding range. Here the global population is placed in the band 1,000–2,499 mature individuals, and considered to comprise a single migratory population, rather than multiple isolated subpopulations.
Trend justification: A moderate and on-going population decline is suspected on the basis of rates of loss, degradation and disturbance of wetland habitats and adjacent nesting trees throughout its range.
