Population justification: There are no estimates of the population size (Renjifo et al. 2016). Nevertheless, based on the localised distribution and low number of records, it is suspected that the population numbers less than 2,500 mature individuals. It is here tentatively placed in the band 1,000-2,499 mature individuals, though an accurate quantification is urgently required.

Trend justification: The population trend has not been investigated, but declines are suspected on the basis of habitat loss.
The rate of tree cover loss within the range has been fairly low over the past ten years (6-9%; Renjifo et al. 2016, Global Forest Watch 2023, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Logging activities appear to be small-scale, but widespread across the entire range (Global Forest Watch 2023), and it has been hypothesised that the overall rate of habitat loss exceeds the rate of tree cover loss substantially due to the additive impacts of forest degradation (Renjifo et al. 2016). Tentatively, the rate of population decline over the past ten years is here placed in the band 20-29% (per Renjifo et al. 2016).
Rates of habitat loss appear to have started accelerating in c.2017 (Global Forest Watch 2023). It is projected that as a consequence of deforestation, the species will lose an additional 60% of its habitat between 2015 and 2040 (Negret et al. 2021). Assuming an exponential rate of decline, this equates to a rate of habitat loss of 46% over the next ten years. Further assuming that population declines are roughly equivalent to the rate of habitat loss, they are here placed in the band 30-49% over the next ten years.
