Population justification: The population is preliminarily estimated to number at least 100,000 mature individuals, given its extensive range. The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and unsustainable levels of exploitation.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction, habitat fragmentation and unsustainable levels of exploitation.
