Population justification: The population size of this species has not formally been estimated, however it appears to be generally rare and confined to primary forest and is preliminarily suspected to fall into the band of 10,000-19,999 mature individuals.
Trend justification: This lowland forest specialist is inferred to be declining rapidly because of pervasive forest loss within its range which largely has consisted of total clearance or conversion to oil palm plantations, neither of which this species persists in. Forest cover loss in its elevational and geographic range in the three generations (15.3 years; Bird et al. 2020) to 2021 has been approximately 25% (Global Forest Watch [2022] using data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). This rate is suspected to continue into the future with little sign of abatement. As a forest dependent species, this is the absolute minimum suspected population reduction. In addition, degradation and fragmentation is suspected to have driven further reduction (the species is conspicuously absent from smaller forest blocks [eBird 2022]), though this is unquantified. Hunting remains an additive threat at least locally, with one study (Symes et al. 2018) even postulating these impacts may be reducing the population size by up to 17% over a shorter three-generation time period of 12.6 (vs 15.3) years. Accounting for uncertainties, the species is suspected to have suffered a population reduction of 30-49% over the past three generations and this rate is suspected to continue into the future.
