Population justification: No direct censuses or population estimates have been carried out. A study applying habitat and population-density models calculated the population size to exceed 37,000.

Trend justification: There is no direct data on population trends. A recent analysis of forest loss data from 2000-2012 indicated that forest was lost within the species’s mapped range at a rate equivalent to 0.9% across three generations (10.8 years; Tracewski et al. 2016). The species’s range map has since been revised, with the newly-discovered locality at Naytza added (among other refinements). Nevertheless, we have no information to suggest that the rate of forest loss would be significantly different across the newly mapped distribution range. Assuming the population size is approximately proportional to the area of forest cover, the species’s population size is inferred to be stable, or slowly declining. 

Another study, which examined land cover change within the species’ mapped range and modelled the corresponding population sizes, calculated that the species’s population had declined by 0.12% across three generations (Santini et al. 2019).
