Justification:
Listed as Vulnerable as the population numbers an estimated 5,000 animals total, and continues to decline in the face of ongoing bushmeat hunting and habitat loss in its range, such that a decline of 10% in three generations (estimated at 15 years) is likely to be easily met. If the population decline becomes steeper, it will approach Endangered status under criterion C, since it has already reached the threshold of <2500 mature individuals.
