Population justification: The population is estimated to number 10,000-25,000 individuals, roughly equating to 6,700-17,000 mature individuals.
Trend justification: Although Wetlands International consider the current population trend to be unknown, it is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
