Population justification: The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as fairly common (Graham 2020).
Trend justification: Due to its being restricted to humid forests, the species is threatened by the loss and degradation of forested habitat within the range. Over the past three generations (15.8 years), 3% of tree cover has been lost within the range (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein). Even when accounting for additional impacts of forest degradation, population declines were unlikely exceeding 10% over this period. Since 2016, deforestation has been accelerating to a rate equivalent to 8% over three generations (Global Forest Watch 2021, using Hansen et al. [2013] data and methods disclosed therein), and population declines may likewise be accelerating to 10-19% over three generations.
