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: Forest loss and fragmentation, compounded by hunting, are suspected to be driving a rapid decline in this species's population.
