Justification of Red List category
This species has a very small population which has declined in the past mainly due to the loss of forested habitat. Intense conservation action, including the protection of habitat and the provision of artificial nestboxes, have however halted and reversed the decline, so that the species is currently increasing. Its range is very small and mature trees, which are important nesting sites, are at risk of selective logging. The species is therefore listed as Endangered.
