Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species has a population density of 20 individuals/km2 in primary lowland forest in Borneo and 10 individuals/km2 in forest on Peninsular Malaysia (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline as lowland rainforest ahs been replaced with palm oil and rubber plantations throughout much of its range (del Hoyo et al. 2001).
