The species' present extent of occurrence (EOO) is estimated at 6,877.500 km2 and its area of occupancy (AOO) is 24 km2. The species is threatened by habitat loss from timber harvesting and forest clearance for agriculture, roads, and settlements. Its estimated EOO has declined by over 30% and its AOO by 50%, with an estimated population decline of 40%. The IUCN assesses the species as vulnerable.[1]
