Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat: No
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): The habitat of this species is threatened by possible future encroachment of a golf course. Within the range, the quality of habitat could be suspectible to future declines if there was disturbance opening the forest area, as changing habitats would impact the microclimate under the forest, which could lead to decreasing humidity drying the forest floor leaf litter.
