This species is likely to be threatened by massive destruction of forests or the wild due to infrastructure development and agricultural expansion.
On the IUCN Red List, this species is included in the “least concern” category because it is widely distributed and, although dependent on the presence of several forest areas, is somewhat tolerant of habitat disturbance, so it is unlikely to decline fast enough to warrant listing in a more threatened category.
