Justification of Red List category
This species is thought to have a moderately small population of only 1,000-2,500 mature individuals. Although this population is currently thought to be stable, thus reducing its imminent extinction risk, its small population size renders it vulnerable to future threats. Accordingly it is evaluated as Near Threatened.
