Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but the species is reported to be common to uncommon (del Hoyo et al. 1994). The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and unsustainable levels of hunting.
Trend justification: The population is suspected to be in decline owing to ongoing habitat destruction and unsustainable levels of hunting.
