Justification of Red List category
The species has a small range within which habitat loss is occurring. However this is relatively slow and the population is currently considered to be increasing. This is due to conservation actions (a ban of hunting of this species; though some illegal hunting continues), and a lifting of the ban could quickly mean the species qualifies for a threatened category. Therefore, the species is listed as Near Threatened.
