Population justification: The population is estimated to number 2,500-9,999 individuals based on an assessment of known records, descriptions of abundance and range size. This is consistent with recorded population density estimates for congeners or close relatives with a similar body size, and the fact that only a proportion of the estimated Extent of Occurrence is likely to be occupied. This estimate is equivalent to 1,667-6,666 mature individuals, rounded here to 1,500-7,000 mature individuals. Populations in urban refuges, such as Santo Domingo (Luna et al. 2018), are however thought to be becoming increasingly significant and should such populations be accurately quantified, it may result in a larger population estimate.
Trend justification: There are no new data on population trends; however, the species is inferred to be in decline at a slow to moderate rate owing to hunting, trapping and habitat loss (S. Marsden in litt. 2017). Populations may however, be growing in urban refuges, such as Santo Domingo (Luna et al. 2018) and offsetting population declines in the species's natural habitat; further research is required to quantify such trends.
