Justification of Red List category
This species is suspected to be experiencing a continuing decline due to ongoing loss and degradation of its forest habitat, exacerbated by localised hunting pressure. Although forest cover loss is high, the species is secure in a number of protected areas and can persist in some levels of degradation. Therefore, the species is classified as Near Threatened, but improved understanding of the impacts of forest loss across the species range may qualify the species as threatened in the future.
