Population justification: The population is estimated to number 50-249 mature individuals, based on the assessment by BirdLife International (2001) that it "seems unlikely that there are more than a few hundred individuals... on each island [Panay and Negros], and there may only be a few tens". This estimate equates to 75-374 individuals in total, rounded here to 70-400 individuals.

Trend justification: During the 20th century, extensive forest loss occurred throughout the species range. On Negros, the species was fairly common in the 19th century but had become extremely rare by the 1930s (Baptista et al. 2020). However, recent deforestation analyses show that rates of forest loss are marginal at 2-4% (Tracewski et al. 2016; Global Forest Watch 2020) over three generations (16.2 years; Bird et al. 2020). Hence declines due to habitat loss are likely to have slowed, but the impact of hunting, including for the live bird trade, is likely to be driving declines substantially above this rate.
