Population justification: The species was recorded to occur at densities of 8.1 individuals/km² (Jones et al. 1995). According to Global Forest Watch (2022, based on data and methods from Hansen et al. [2013]), there was c.2,200 km² of forest (excluding plantations) in its range in 2021. The species is unable to occupy all habitat (some of which may occur in patches too small), but it is able to tolerate second growth and plantations (Eaton et al. 2021, eBird 2022) in some areas. Consequently, the population is estimated to number 10,000-15,000 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The population is suspected to be declining due to habitat loss and, to a much lesser extent, impacts of localised hunting. In the three generations (13.5 years; Bird et al. 2020) to 2021, forest cover loss in this species' range was reduced by c.5% (Global Forest Watch 2022, based on data from Hansen et al. [2013] and methods disclosed therein). As a forest-dependent species, the population size reduction is thought to be approximately equivalent, although it may cope with some degradation. Impacts of hunting are thought to be highly localised and not driving substantial population declines. Overall therefore, the species is suspected of declining at an ongoing rate of 1-9% over three generations.
