Justification of Red List category
This species is thought to be suffering moderately rapid declines throughout its limited range in response to habitat loss and degradation, which show no sign of abatement. However, the population is not yet thought to be small, and it shows some tolerance towards montane forest, for which rates of forest loss are much lower. It is therefore currently listed as Near Threatened, although habitat extent should continue to be closely monitored.
