Trend justification: The population is suspected to be increasing in much of its range owing to the introduction of exotic plantations and an increase in suitable habitat. The species is declining locally in east Africa owing to ongoing habitat destruction. However, the overall population trend is suspected to be increasing (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001).
