Population justification: The world population may be no greater than 10,000 individuals. The estimate of global breeding population, based on on-the-ground counts of nests, is 2,777 breeding pairs (or 5,554 breeding individuals) (Hodum 2012).

Trend justification: The population is thought to be stable although the very small breeding range of the species renders it susceptible to stochastic events.
