Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There is clear-cut logging of forest and conversion of land to cultivated gardens over much of the species range. Loss of forest at lower elevations may also be impacting the montane habitat of the species by leading to increased desiccation of montane regions.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is common in Lore Lindu National Park. Field surveys are needed to determine if the species can persist in modified habitats outside of forest.
