Population justification: It has been described as common and locally very common (Juniper and Parr 1998, Forshaw 2006), with a total population of more than 50,000 individuals (Juniper and Parr 1998). However, due to the age of this estimate and therefore the uncertainty surrounding it, the population size is now considered unknown. This species is considered to have a medium dependency on forest habitat, and tree cover is estimated to have declined by 17.3% within its mapped range over the past three generations (Global Forest Watch 2022, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). The species is known to adapt to some degree to degraded and secondary habitats, therefore it is unlikely that the species population size would be declining at a similar rate to tree cover loss. Nevertheless, as it is also subject to some trapping pressure, it is tentatively suspected that the species' population size has declined by between 1-9% over the past three generations.
