Justification of Red List category
This species was once one of the rarest in Asia, with a global population size of <250 mature individuals. It has since undergone a remarkable recovery due to conservation action, from 50-100 breeding pairs at the turn of the century, to more than 1,000 estimated now (2,000-6,000 mature individuals). The chief threats, habitat loss and invasive Small Indian Mongoose, have been mitigated and the area of available habitat is now probably at carrying capacity. With a likely stable population trend, the species has a low risk of becoming extinct in the near-future. It is therefore assessed as Least Concern.
