Justification of Red List category
This species has a small and declining population with declines driven by the loss and degradation of suitable forest habitat but also potentially localised persecution. The species is assessed as Vulnerable. The rate of forest loss within the range has slowed over the past decade but maintaining current protected forest area and extending protection to additional remaining forest within the range is required to reduce the risk of extinction.
