Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Localized habitat destruction is likely to be occurring in parts of this species range; however, due to its broad distribution, this does not constitute a major threat.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There are no known species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. Parts of its range are likely to coincide with protected areas, which probably provide small safeguards. Further research into its taxonomy, population trends and threats is needed to check that localized threats do not become more widespread, causing significant declines.
