Justification of Red List category
This species is perhaps surprisingly poorly known. It is suspected to have a small population size (7,500-20,000 mature individuals) and to probably be in decline owing to habitat loss and modification, as well as possibly trapping for the pet trade. However it is adaptable to degraded lands and there is no evidence for especially rapid declines. It is therefore precautionarily listed as Near Threatened.
