Justification of Red List category
This species is confined to a moderately small range in Peninsular Malaysia and (marginally) Peninsular Thailand, and probably has a small population size. Within its range it is suspected to be declining slowly due to habitat loss (especially for road infrastructure) and some localised hunting. Nonetheless it is buffered from the worst of these threats by its remote and largely inaccessible range. Consequently, it is considered Near Threatened.

Population size: 2500-20000, 2500-9999 mature individuals
