Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be relatively numerous in forest on Halmahera (Madge and Burn 1993). A survey of Aketajawe-Lolobata National Park, Halmahera, gave a potential population estimate of c.44,000 individuals within the NP (H. Bashari in litt. 2016, 2023), suggesting the global population size is very large.
Trend justification:
This species is precautionarily suspected to be declining in line with ongoing habitat loss within its range. Forest cover extent in the range reduced by c.8-9% in the three generations to 2022 (Global Forest Watch 2023, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). Habitat degradation is also severe, and deforestation in this region is projected to increase (Voigt et al. 2021). However, the species shows an apparent tolerance of modified habitats and is noted to stray into plantations (Eaton et al. 2021), which would be expected to buffer its population against the loss of primary habitat to some extent. Based on this, declines are tentatively placed in the range 1-15% over three generations.
