Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals. This equates to 3,750-14,999 individuals in total, rounded here to 3,500-15,000 individuals.
Trend justification: The species is suspected to be declining at a slow to moderate rate, owing to logging and habitat degradation resulting from shifting cultivation.
