Justification:
Listed as Critically Endangered because there is an estimate of over 80% population decline based on habitat loss and hunting in the past 45 years (3 generations). Although there are no solid estimates of total mature individuals, estimates based on current evidence indicate that there are less than 250 mature individuals, and a continuing decline.
