Description JUSTIFICATION This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, 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 is found in China, western Yunnan, extending into Myanmar (Smith et al. 2008). DESCRIPTION The population seems to be stable. HABITAT AND ECOLOGY This species appears to inhabit the rain forest vegetation area from the mouth of the Salween river northward. It occurs in primary and secondary broadleaved forest, but it is found also in mixed areas with cropland and tree cover. Phayre’s Squirrel is apparently the medium-sized tree squirrel in these tropical deciduous forests. THREATS There are no major threats to this species. CONSERVATION ACTIONS There are no conservation measures in place; it is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Populations of this species should be monitored to record changes in abundance and distribution.
