Population justification: The population is estimated to number 100-200 individuals, roughly equating to 70-130 mature individuals.

Trend justification: Forest loss has reportedly decimated the ecology of Boano island. Continuing encroachment is likely to be driving a moderate and on-going decline in this species.
