Population justification: The global population has not been quantified, but likely numbers less than 100,000 mature individuals (per B. Phalan in litt. 2022). A study on Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro, found the population density to vary over the year from 0.4 to 1.8 individuals/ha, with the highest densities recorded during the breeding season (Medeiros 2010). Tentatively, the population is here placed in the band 50,000-99,999 mature individuals, but a precise estimate is urgently required.

Trend justification: The population is declining as habitat loss is causing local extinctions and range contractions (Snow and Sharpe 2020). The species has already disappeared from several formerly occupied sites, including Itatiaia National Park (Snow and Sharpe 2020).
Within the range, tree cover has been lost at a rate of up to 8% over three generations (14.3 years; Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Even though the species is sometimes found in logged areas it is dependent on humid forest, and population declines may therefore be exacerbated by additional habitat degradation; they are therefore here placed in the band 10-19% over three generations.
