Population justification: The population size is preliminarily estimated to fall into the band 2,500-9,999 mature individuals. This equates to 3,750-14,999 individuals in total, rounded here to 3,500-15,000 individuals.
Trend justification: The species has suffered as a result of extensive forest loss owing to logging, conversion to plantations and agriculture, and major forest fires. Tree cover within the range is being lost at a rate of approximately 35% over the three generations (22.8 years; Global Forest Watch 2020). While some populations have shown resilience to habitat modification, others have been found absent from disturbed forests. Thus, it may be precautionarily assumed that population changes are proportional to forest cover change.
