Systems: Terrestrial
Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: Yes

Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Populations are likely to be decreasing as habitats in both current localities are declining in quality due to agriculture, tourism, erosion and other human activities. The type locality is downstream of a hydro-electric dam built in 2004 which has resulted in a degradation of the habitat (the river bed is now dry).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Neither of the localities is in a Nature Reserve or Nature Park.
