Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as probably uncommon or perhaps locally common (del Hoyo et al. 2002). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to desertification of its habitat and removal of dead trees which are required for nesting (del Hoyo et al. 2002).
