Population justification: The global population size is unknown given recent taxonomic splits; an accurate estimate is urgently required.

Trend justification: The population trend has not been assessed directly, but the species is thought to be in slow decline on the basis of habitat loss and probably trapping for trade.
Within the range, tree cover has been lost at a rate of 9% over the past three generations (10.2 years; Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Tree cover loss has been increasing since 2016, to a rate equivalent to 11% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). As the species is also occurring in savanna habitat, the rate of population decline may be lower than deforestation rates suggest. The impact of trapping has not been quantified. Based on available evidence, population declines are unlikely to exceed 20% over three generations, but an accurate estimate is required.
