Population justification: The population is estimated to number between 0.8-1.6 million individuals in total.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be decreasing at an unquantified rate, but the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion.
