Conservation Concerns
A current population estimate is around 20000 with an uncertainty of about 4000. That is about the same as in 1994, however, due to habitat destruction and closure of a habitat link between the two islands, the outlook for about 20% of the population is rather grim. The species has not been seen traverse water and does not spread any significant distance over non-forested ground.
External Links
A beautiful monograph of this species was written by Pascal Villard (ISBN 2-9506548-6-X)
