Justification of Red List category

Rapid deforestation is occurring within the species's range. Although deforestation data from the last decade does not suggest a population reduction that would exceed the threshold for listing the species as Vulnerable under Criterion A, recent higher rates of tree cover loss suggest that the population reduction is likely to be greater over the next decade. Taking into account the potential additional impact of disturbance, the population reduction over the next decade may be greater than 30%. The species is therefore listed as Vulnerable.
