Justification: Qualifies for Critically Endangered (CR) status based on very small location (extent of occurrence = 30 km²) and ongoing decline, which is hard to estimate, but probably higher than 25% over 30 years (one generation). Also assessed as CR under criterion C1 because population size is <250 mature individuals and there is ongoing decline. |
