Justification of Red List category
Although the subpopulation on the island of Conception has recently undergone a severe decline, other subpopulations on Frégate Island and Ile du Nord have grown recently, and overall the population is not currently considered to be declining. Nevertheless, the species's population has undergone a moderately severe reduction over the past three generations and its population remains small and limited to a handful of locations, where it is threatened by further rat introductions. Therefore, the species is listed as Vulnerable.
