Justification:
Listed as Critically Endangered as recent (2003-2004) surveys on the two islands from whence the subspecies is known indicate that very little is left of the natural forest and there were no recorded sightings of any primates. Deforestation of the remnant forests on the islands continues, and if this primate taxon survives it is unlikely that numbers exceed a few tens of individuals. The status of the mainland subpopulation is questionable as it is not clear that it exists (or ever existed) on the mainland.
