Downloaded on 24 June 2021. Description JUSTIFICATION This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, it occurs in a number of protected areas, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category. RANGE DESCRIPTION This species has been found above 300 m elevation in Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia, and Kalimantan, Indonesia. DESCRIPTION The abundance and population size of this species are not known. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY It occurs in montane oak and lower moss forests. THREATS Deforestation between 1973 and 2010 at medium altitudes (500-1,000 m asl) caused a decline in forest area of 25% compared to the 1973 baseline (Gaveau et al. 2014). Degradation of submontane habitats is likely to reduce habitat quality for this species, although actual ecological impacts of selective logging remain to be quantified. With forests in lower altitudinal areas being lost rapidly, medium-altitude forests are increasingly becoming isolated from each other. CONSERVATION ACTIONS This species is present in a number of protected areas across its range, including Kinabalu National Park and Kayan Mentarang National Park.
