Justification:
This subspecies is listed as Endangered due to an ongoing decline in the population estimated to be greater that 50% over the past 3 generations (48 years). The species is threatened by deforestation, persecution from farmers where it is considered a crop pest, capture for the pet trade, and in some areas by excessive hunting.
